Value Collection 01108331 Drill Blank Size 33 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108331 is a wire gauge size 33 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as stock material for custom tooling, gauging, and tool and die applications. This blank measures 0.1130 inch in decimal diameter and 2-5/8 inches in overall length. The bright finish indicates no additional surface treatment, keeping the base high speed steel properties intact for grinding or further machining by the end user. It is a single-piece unit suited for toolmakers, machinists, and tool and die professionals working in production or job shop environments.

This drill blank is intended for use wherever a precision-diameter HSS rod is needed as raw stock. Common applications include fabricating custom reamers, punches, gauges, and drill bits, as well as use as a go/no-go gauge pin or alignment tool. The wire gauge 33 size (0.1130 inch) is a frequently encountered diameter in precision machining and inspection work across general manufacturing, aerospace component fabrication, and tool and die shops.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 33 with a decimal equivalent of 0.1130 inch for precise diameter reference
• Overall length of 2-5/8 inches provides adequate stock for grinding custom tool profiles
• High speed steel construction offers hardness and wear resistance suitable for cutting tool applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows direct use or further surface treatment by the machinist
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS drill blank for use in tool and die, precision machining, and inspection applications requiring a wire gauge size 33 diameter rod.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are worked by tool and die makers and machinists using surface grinders, tool grinders, and related precision equipment. Always use appropriate workholding and grinding wheel guards when shaping blanks into finished tools. Ensure the workpiece is fully secured before grinding to prevent ejection. Follow your facility's machine safety procedures and applicable OSHA standards when operating grinding equipment.
