Value Collection 01100643 Drill Blank 1 in Hss Uncoated

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01100643 is a high speed steel drill blank measuring 1 inch in diameter with a 6-inch overall length. 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 profiles, reamers, punches, or other cutting tools suited to specific applications. This blank ships with a bright, uncoated finish, preserving the base HSS material for grinding without surface interference. At 1 pound, the piece is solid and ready for bench work or CNC tool grinding operations.

This drill blank is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, and fabrication environments where off-the-shelf drill geometries do not meet job requirements. It is commonly used when a technician needs to produce a one-off or low-volume custom cutting tool from known HSS stock. The bright finish makes it easy to scribe layout lines and inspect ground surfaces during the fabrication process.

Key Features

• 1-inch decimal and fractional diameter for straightforward stock selection
• 6-inch overall length provides adequate shank for most bench grinding setups
• High speed steel construction offers hardness and heat resistance during cutting tool use
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct grinding without removing a coating layer
• Single-piece package quantity for individual toolroom use

Compatibility

Designed as general-purpose HSS drill blank stock suitable for custom tool grinding across a wide range of machining and toolroom applications.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require grinding by a qualified machinist or tool grinder before use as a cutting tool. Secure the blank properly in a tool grinding fixture before beginning any material removal. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when grinding HSS stock. Follow your shop safety program and applicable OSHA standards for grinding operations.
