Value Collection 01108489 Drill Blank Size 48 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108489 is a wire gauge size 48 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. At 2 inches overall length, this blank is an unfluted, cylindrical steel rod ground to precise wire gauge tolerances. Drill blanks serve as the raw material for custom tooling, gauge pins, punches, and specialty drill fabrication. The 0.0760 inch decimal diameter and consistent finish make this blank suitable for grinding, EDM work, or use as a precision locating pin. Machinists, tool grinders, and toolroom technicians are the primary users of this type of stock.

This drill blank is used in toolroom and production machining environments where a close-tolerance, ground-diameter rod is needed in wire gauge sizing. Typical applications include custom drill fabrication, punch and die work, jig and fixture pinning, and inspection gauging. The bright uncoated surface is well suited for applications where coating thickness would affect dimensional accuracy. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces, making this appropriate for shops that need a small supply of wire gauge blanks on hand.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 48 with a decimal diameter of 0.0760 inches for precise toolroom fitment
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for grinding and fabrication
• Bright uncoated finish maintains exact diameter tolerances without coating buildup
• 2 inch overall length suits standard drill blank and pin stock applications
• Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 48 drill blank for use in toolroom applications requiring a 0.0760 inch diameter ground steel rod.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are handled and fabricated by machinists and tool grinders working in toolroom or production environments. When grinding to a custom profile, secure the blank in an appropriate collet or fixture to prevent movement. Use proper eye protection and grinding guards per applicable shop safety requirements. Blanks should be inspected for diameter consistency before use in precision gauging or locating pin applications.
