Value Collection 01108372 Drill Blank Size 37 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108372 is a wire gauge size 37 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 0.1040 inches in decimal diameter and 2.5 inches overall length, this blank serves as raw stock for grinding custom drill geometries or as a precision pin, punch, or gauge reference. High speed steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for demanding shop applications. This blank ships individually and is suited for tool-and-die makers, machinists, and toolroom technicians who need accurate, pre-hardened stock in standard wire gauge sizes.

Wire gauge drill blanks are used in toolrooms, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where custom tooling is produced in-house. Size 37 corresponds to a 0.1040-inch decimal diameter, placing it in the range commonly used for small-hole drilling in metal, plastics, and composites. These blanks are also used as go/no-go gauge pins, alignment dowels, and inspection references. A licensed machinist or tool-and-die maker typically works with stock like this during tooling fabrication or repair operations.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 37 with 0.1040-inch decimal diameter for precise sizing
• 2.5-inch overall length provides sufficient stock for grinding custom flute and point geometries
• High speed steel construction delivers hardness and thermal resistance for cutting tool applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows straightforward inspection and further surface treatment if required
• Sold individually, suitable for single-piece toolroom use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge drill blank for use in toolroom and machining applications requiring a size 37, 0.1040-inch diameter high speed steel blank.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks require grinding to final geometry before use as cutting tools. Machining or grinding operations should be performed by qualified toolroom personnel using appropriate wheel speeds and coolant to prevent overheating the steel. When used as gauge pins or alignment references, verify diameter with a calibrated micrometer before use. No power source disconnection is required, but standard shop safety practices apply when grinding or pressing blanks into fixtures.
