Value Collection 01100445 Drill Blank 11/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100445 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch decimal) 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 tooling. This blank ships in a bright, uncoated finish, leaving the steel surface ready for grinding, sharpening, or coating as required by the application. It is sized to close tolerances to support accurate tool fabrication. Machinists and toolmakers are the primary users of drill blank stock for in-shop tooling and repair work.

This drill blank is suited for tool and die shops, machining centers, and maintenance departments that fabricate or recondition cutting tools in-house. The 11/16 inch diameter and 6 inch length make it appropriate for producing reamers, step drills, custom punches, or gauge pins where off-the-shelf tooling does not meet the required geometry. The bright finish allows the user to assess the base material condition before any secondary grinding or surface treatment is applied.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance during secondary machining operations
• Bright, uncoated finish provides a clean surface ready for grinding, EDM, or custom coating
• 0.6875 inch (11/16 inch fractional) diameter for precise blank-to-tool sizing
• 6 inch overall length provides sufficient stock for single or multiple tool profiles
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for low-volume toolmaking needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard high speed steel drill blank for use in tool and die fabrication, general machining, and maintenance tooling applications where an 11/16 inch diameter, 6 inch length blank is specified.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock and require secondary grinding or machining before use as finished tools. Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment during grinding operations and follow applicable shop safety procedures. Secure the blank properly in a tool grinder or surface grinder fixture before material removal. Inspect the blank for surface defects before beginning any grinding work.
