Value Collection 01108455 Drill Blank Size 45 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108455 is a wire gauge size 45 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. A drill blank is an unfluted, cylindrical rod ground to a precise diameter, used as a gauge pin, punch, locating pin, or as stock for custom tooling fabrication. This blank measures 0.0820 inches in decimal equivalent and has an overall length of 2.125 inches. It is a standard item for tool rooms, machine shops, and fabrication environments where precise diameter stock is needed for secondary operations or inspection use.

This drill blank is suited for tool room and machining applications where a close-tolerance, ground cylindrical blank is required. Typical uses include use as a go/no-go gauge reference, a pilot pin, a punch blank, or raw stock for custom ground tooling. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the steel in its natural ground state, making it appropriate for applications where additional coatings or modifications will be applied downstream. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators are the primary users of this type of blank.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 45, equal to 0.0820 inches in decimal, for precise diameter reference
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for tooling applications
• Bright, uncoated finish leaves surface ready for secondary processing or use as-ground
• 2.125-inch overall length provides adequate stock for most standard tool room applications
• Consistent ground diameter supports use as a gauge pin or locating pin

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 45 drill blank for general tool room, machining, and fabrication use where a 0.0820-inch diameter ground blank is required.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and installed by machinists or tool and die makers in shop environments. When using as a gauge pin or locating pin, ensure mating bores are clean and free of debris before insertion to avoid galling the ground surface. Do not force-fit the blank into undersized holes, as this can damage both the blank and the workpiece. Store blanks in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation on the uncoated steel.
