Value Collection 01108133 Drill Blank Size 13 Wire Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108133 is a wire gauge drill blank in size 13, equivalent to 0.1850 inches in decimal, with an overall length of 3.5 inches. Drill blanks are unfluted cylindrical rods of precision-ground tool steel used as raw stock for custom tooling, gauging, and punch fabrication. This blank is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, leaving the surface ready for secondary grinding, coating, or heat treatment as required by the application. Machinists, tool and die makers, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this type of stock.

This drill blank is suited for toolroom and production environments where a standard wire gauge blank is needed for making custom drills, transfer punches, locating pins, or gauging instruments. The 0.1850-inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge number 13, a common size in general machining and precision fabrication work. The 3.5-inch overall length provides adequate material for most standard tooling applications without requiring additional stock removal before profiling.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 13, equal to 0.1850 inches decimal diameter
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in tooling applications
• Bright, uncoated finish leaves surface ready for secondary operations
• 3.5-inch overall length suits standard toolroom and punch fabrication needs
• Precision-ground stock maintains close diameter tolerance for gauging and locating uses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge drill blank for use in toolroom fabrication, gauging, and custom drill or punch applications requiring a number 13 wire gauge diameter of 0.1850 inches.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and shaped by machinists and tool and die makers using surface grinders, lathes, and related toolroom equipment. Before any secondary grinding or heat treatment, ensure the workholding setup is secure and the blank is properly supported to avoid deflection. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when working with HSS stock, including appropriate eye protection and coolant use during grinding operations.
