Drill blanks serve as the raw stock for custom tooling, reamer blanks, punch blanks, and precision ground cutting tools. This blank measures 0.0980 inches in diameter and has an overall length of 2-3\/8 inches, making it well suited for applications that require precise diameter control before grinding. High speed steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for toolroom and machining environments. Licensed machinists, tool grinders, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this type of stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill blank is used in toolroom, manufacturing, and precision machining settings where standard off-the-shelf cutting tools do not meet the required diameter or geometry. The 0.0980 inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge size 40, which falls in the small-diameter range commonly needed for jig and fixture work, instrument manufacturing, and close-tolerance drilling in metal, plastic, and composite materials. The bright uncoated surface finish allows for easy grinding and custom finishing without removing a coating layer first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 40 with a decimal diameter of 0.0980 inches for close-tolerance toolroom applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance during grinding and light cutting operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish for straightforward custom grinding without coating interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverall length of 2-3\/8 inches provides adequate shank stock for most small-diameter tooling setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent diameter tolerance expected of wire gauge blank stock for reliable ground-tool output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard wire gauge size 40 drill blank suitable for use in toolroom applications requiring 0.0980 inch diameter high speed steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrill blanks are raw stock and require grinding or machining before use as finished cutting tools.
