Value Collection 01108463 Drill Blank Size 46 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108463 is a wire gauge size 46 drill blank manufactured from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling, gauge pins, and specialty drill fabrication. This blank measures 0.0810 inches in diameter and 2-1/8 inches in overall length, making it well suited for fine-diameter work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The high speed steel construction provides good hardness and wear resistance for grinding into finished cutting tools or precision measuring aids.

This drill blank is used in machine shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments where technicians need to grind or finish their own cutting tools or fabricate precision-diameter pins. The wire gauge size 46 designation corresponds to a 0.0810-inch decimal diameter, a common requirement in fine-tolerance drilling and gauging applications across metalworking, electronics assembly, and light manufacturing trades.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 46 with a decimal inch diameter of 0.0810 inches
• 2-1/8 inch overall length provides adequate stock for custom tool grinding
• High speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to remove before grinding or use as a gauge pin
• UNSPSC Code 23242100 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 46 drill blank suitable for use in tool room fabrication, custom drill grinding, and gauge pin applications requiring a 0.0810-inch diameter stock rod.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and finished by machinists or tool-and-die technicians using surface grinders or tool grinders. Secure workpiece properly and follow all machine guarding protocols before grinding operations. Always verify finished tool geometry and diameter with calibrated measuring equipment before use in production. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection when grinding high speed steel stock.
