Value Collection 01100486 Drill Blank 3/4 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100486 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 0.750 inches in diameter with an overall length of 6 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted, precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals grind these blanks into custom drill geometries, reamers, punches, or other cutting tools. This blank ships with a bright, uncoated finish, leaving the steel surface in its natural state for direct use or secondary coating as required by the application. At 0.76 pounds, it is a solid, single-piece blank suitable for bench-top grinding operations.

Drill blanks of this type are used in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where off-the-shelf drill geometries do not meet job requirements. The 3/4 inch diameter and 6 inch length make it appropriate for medium to large custom tooling work. Typical users include tool grinders, die makers, and precision machinists who require a consistent high speed steel substrate before applying their own geometry. This blank is sold as a single piece.

Key Features

• 0.750 inch (3/4 inch fractional) diameter for medium to large tooling applications
• 6 inch overall length provides adequate stock for most custom grinding operations
• High speed steel construction offers hardness and wear resistance suitable for cutting tool fabrication
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct grinding or application of customer-specified coatings
• Precision-ground cylindrical form ensures consistent diameter along the full length

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose high speed steel drill blank for use in tool-and-die, machining, and custom cutting tool fabrication applications where a 3/4 inch diameter, 6 inch length HSS blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require secondary grinding operations performed by qualified machinists or tool grinders before use as a cutting tool. Secure the blank properly in a tool grinder or surface grinder fixture before machining. Follow all applicable shop safety guidelines, including use of appropriate eye protection and grinding guards. Do not use the blank as a finished cutting tool without proper geometry being applied first.
