Value Collection 01108505 Size 50 Hss Drill Blank 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108505 is a wire gauge size 50 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as starting stock for custom drill bits, punches, and tooling. At 0.0700 inches in diameter and 2 inches in overall length, this blank provides the raw material machinists and tool grinders need to fabricate specialty cutting tools to exact specifications. The bright finish indicates no additional coating has been applied, leaving the steel in its natural ground state for maximum dimensional accuracy and ease of further processing.

This drill blank is suited for use in machine shops, tool rooms, and production environments where standard off-the-shelf drill sizes do not meet application requirements. Toolmakers use blanks like this to grind custom drill geometries, step drills, or specialty punches. The high speed steel construction handles the heat and stress of secondary grinding operations without distorting the shank diameter, making it reliable stock for precision tool fabrication work.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 50, equivalent to 0.0700 inches diameter
• High speed steel construction for durability and grindability
• Bright, uncoated finish preserves tight dimensional tolerances
• 2 inches overall length provides adequate stock for most custom tooling applications
• Consistent diameter throughout for reliable chucking and grinding setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank suitable for tool room fabrication of custom cutting tools, punches, and specialty tooling in applications requiring wire gauge size 50 stock.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are machined or ground by qualified toolmakers and machinists using appropriate surface or tool-and-cutter grinders. Secure the blank in a collet or precision chuck that matches the 0.0700 inch diameter before any grinding operation. Follow all shop safety protocols, including the use of eye protection and appropriate wheel guards, when grinding high speed steel stock. Do not attempt to use an unground blank as a cutting tool.
