Value Collection 01108232 Drill Blank Size 23 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108232 is a wire gauge size 23 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom cutting tools, gauges, punches, and specialty drill fabrication. This blank measures 0.154 inches in diameter and has an overall length of 3.125 inches. The high speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for toolroom applications where a finished drill or custom cutter must be ground to a specific geometry. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use blanks like this as the starting point for form tools and specialty tooling that is not available off the shelf.

This drill blank suits toolroom, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments where wire gauge diameter stock is required. The size 23 designation corresponds to 0.154 inches, a dimension commonly needed when producing drill fixtures, go/no-go gauges, or custom punches for sheet metal and plastic fabrication work. The bright, uncoated surface is dimensionally consistent and ready for grinding without additional preparation. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces per order.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for hardness and heat resistance during grinding and use
• Bright, uncoated finish provides consistent surface for tool grinding
• 3.125-inch overall length offers adequate stock for most toolroom blank applications
• Lightweight at 0.0167 pounds per piece, easy to stock in quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 23 drill blank for general toolroom use where 0.154-inch diameter high speed steel stock is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are semi-finished tool stock and require grinding by a qualified toolmaker or machinist before use as a cutting tool. Use appropriate tool grinding equipment and personal protective equipment when shaping the blank. Store blanks in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion, as the bright uncoated finish offers no rust protection. Handle with care to avoid nicking the ground diameter, which can affect final tool accuracy.
