Value Collection 01108281 Drill Blank Size 28 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108281 is a wire gauge size 28 drill blank manufactured from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. Drill blanks are unfluted cylindrical rods ground to precise diameter tolerances, used primarily as gauge pins, punch blanks, transfer punches, or as raw stock for custom tooling fabrication. This blank measures 0.1405 inches in decimal diameter and 2-7/8 inches in overall length. High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for machining, grinding, and toolmaking applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision metalworking shops are the primary users of this type of stock.

This drill blank is suited for light industrial and precision shop use where a ground, close-tolerance cylindrical blank is required. Typical applications include use as a go/no-go gauge pin, a pilot for reaming or boring operations, a punch blank that will be further ground to shape, or a reference standard in fixture building. The bright uncoated finish makes it easy to inspect the ground surface and is appropriate for most indoor toolroom environments.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 28, equivalent to 0.1405 inches decimal diameter
• 2-7/8 inches overall length for versatile stock removal or gauging use
• High speed steel material provides hardness and resistance to wear during secondary grinding operations
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual and dimensional inspection
• Sold individually, suitable for single-piece toolroom or repair needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 28 drill blank for use in toolmaking, gauging, and precision machining applications where a ground high speed steel cylindrical blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are raw stock and require no installation in the traditional sense, but handling precautions apply. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when grinding or machining this blank, as high speed steel produces fine metallic particles. Secure workpieces properly in a vise or fixture before any secondary operations. Follow shop safety standards and applicable OSHA guidelines for grinding and cutting operations.
