Value Collection 01108430 Drill Blank Size 43 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108430 is a wire gauge size 43 drill blank manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 2.25 inches overall length, this blank serves as the raw stock for custom drill fabrication, reground tooling, or precision hole-making applications where standard twist drills are not suitable. The decimal equivalent diameter is 0.0890 inches. High speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and wear resistance for use in ferrous and non-ferrous materials at conventional cutting speeds. This blank is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Wire gauge drill blanks in the size 43 range are commonly used in tool-and-die shops, machine shops, and maintenance environments where technicians need to grind custom point geometries or replace worn small-diameter drills. The 0.0890-inch diameter is typical in applications requiring close-tolerance pilot holes, tap drilling, and small fastener clearance work across metalworking, electronics assembly, and general fabrication trades.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are typically handled and ground by machinists or toolmakers using bench grinders or tool-and-cutter grinders. Secure the blank properly in a tool holder or chuck before use to prevent slippage at operating speed. Inspect the blank for surface defects or cracks prior to grinding or installation. Follow applicable shop safety practices when operating grinding equipment.
