Value Collection 01108109 Drill Blank Size 10 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108109 is a wire gauge size 10 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. A drill blank is an unfluted, precision-ground rod used as the starting stock for custom cutting tools or as a go/no-go gauge pin in inspection and layout work. At 3-5/8 inches overall length and a decimal diameter of 0.1935 inches, this blank gives toolmakers and machinists the consistent dimensional accuracy needed for grinding custom drill geometries or verifying bore tolerances. It is a single-piece item suited for tool and die shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments where off-the-shelf drill configurations do not meet application requirements.

This drill blank is used in toolmaking, precision machining, and metrology applications where a ground, unfluted steel rod is required. Typical scenarios include custom drill grinding on a tool and cutter grinder, use as a gauge pin for hole inspection, or as a locating pin in fixture building. The bright uncoated finish keeps the surface at its base high speed steel hardness without added coating thickness, which is important when holding tight diameter tolerances. Suitable for general metalworking shops and industrial maintenance settings.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 10 with a decimal diameter of 0.1935 inches for precise sizing
• 3-5/8 inches overall length provides stock material for grinding or gauging applications
• High speed steel construction offers good hardness and wear resistance for toolmaking use
• Bright uncoated finish maintains true ground diameter without coating buildup
• Single-piece packaging allows procurement of exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wire gauge drill blank for toolmaking, gauging, and precision machining applications where a size 10 wire gauge unfluted steel rod is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and used by machinists and toolmakers in shop environments. When grinding this blank into a custom cutting tool, use appropriate eye protection and follow safe tool and cutter grinder operating procedures. Secure the blank firmly in the appropriate holding fixture before grinding to prevent movement. If used as a gauge pin, keep the surface clean and free of burrs to maintain dimensional accuracy.
