Value Collection 01100437 Drill Blank 43/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100437 is a high speed steel drill blank sized at 43/64 inches (0.6719 inches decimal) in diameter with a 6 inch overall length. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling, gauge pins, arbors, and specialty cutting tools. This blank ships with a bright, uncoated finish, leaving the base high speed steel exposed for easy regrinding, resharpening, or custom modification by machinists and tool-and-die professionals. The consistent diameter and straight geometry make it suitable for close-tolerance tooling applications where standard drill geometries do not apply.

This drill blank is suited for machine shops, tool rooms, and industrial maintenance environments where custom tooling is fabricated in-house. Typical applications include the manufacture of custom reamers, punch tooling, gauging fixtures, and specialty drills. The 6 inch overall length provides adequate stock material for most bench-fabricated tooling projects. Machinists working with manual or CNC grinding equipment will find the bright finish easy to inspect for surface defects prior to grinding operations.

Key Features

• 43/64 inch (0.6719 inch) diameter precision-ground blank for consistent fitment in close-tolerance applications
• 6 inch overall length provides sufficient stock for a wide range of custom tooling projects
• High speed steel construction offers good wear resistance and hardness for tool fabrication
• Bright, uncoated finish allows straightforward inspection and surface preparation before grinding
• Sold individually, suitable for single-piece custom tool or gauge fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose high speed steel drill blank for use as raw stock in custom tooling fabrication across machine shop and tool room environments.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock material and require machining or grinding before use as finished tooling. Handle with appropriate metalworking PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves during grinding operations. Secure the blank in a proper fixture or chuck before any material removal. Verify final dimensions with calibrated gauging instruments before placing finished tooling into service.
