Value Collection 01100387 Drill Blank 19/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100387 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 19/32 inches (0.5938 inches) in diameter with a 6-inch overall length. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for fabricating custom cutting tools, punches, gauges, and specialty drills. The bright, uncoated finish indicates no additional surface treatment, leaving the base high speed steel exposed for applications where coating is not required or where the blank will be further ground and finished by the end user. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this stock.

This drill blank is suited for toolroom and job-shop environments where custom tooling must be manufactured to specific requirements. It serves as starting material for step drills, reamers, form tools, and other rotary cutting tools that cannot be sourced as standard catalog items. The 6-inch length provides adequate stock for most single-tool grinding operations. Both production and maintenance shops keep blanks like this on hand for rapid custom tool fabrication.

Key Features

• 19/32 inch (0.5938 inch) diameter precision-ground blank for consistent stock removal during tool grinding
• 6-inch overall length provides sufficient material for a range of custom tool profiles
• High speed steel construction offers hardness and wear resistance suitable for cutting tool applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows for direct use or further surface treatment as required
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit procurement for low-volume toolroom needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank for toolroom fabrication of custom cutting tools, gauges, and punches where a 19/32-inch diameter high speed steel blank is specified.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are worked on tool-and-cutter grinders or surface grinders by qualified machinists or toolmakers. Secure the blank firmly in an appropriate grinding fixture before any material removal. Always use proper eye protection and grinding guards in compliance with applicable shop safety standards. Inspect the blank for surface defects before beginning any grinding operation.
