Value Collection 01108547 Drill Blank Size 54 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108547 is a wire gauge size 54 drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Drill blanks are unfluted, cylindrical tool steel rods used as raw stock for grinding custom cutting tools, reamers, punches, and specialty drill points. This blank measures 0.0550 inches in decimal equivalent diameter and has an overall length of 1.875 inches. Machinists and tool grinders rely on high speed steel blanks for their balance of hardness, toughness, and grindability on standard bench or surface grinders.

This blank is suited for tool and die shops, machine shops, and maintenance departments that fabricate or regrind small-diameter cutting tools. The wire gauge 54 size targets fine-tolerance work where standard off-the-shelf drill geometries are insufficient. Typical applications include custom drill point grinding, small punch fabrication, and use as precision locating or transfer pins. The bright uncoated finish allows easy inspection of the ground surface finish after machining.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 54 with a decimal equivalent diameter of 0.0550 inches
• Overall length of 1.875 inches provides sufficient stock for most small-tool grinding applications
• High speed steel construction offers the hardness and toughness needed for cutting tool fabrication
• Bright uncoated finish allows direct inspection and easy surface grinding without coating interference
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard wire gauge size 54 drill blank suitable for use with bench grinders, surface grinders, and tool and cutter grinders in general machining and tool fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are worked by machinists and tool grinders, not installed directly into end-use equipment. Always secure the blank firmly in the appropriate grinding fixture before grinding to prevent slippage. Use proper eye protection and grinding guards per applicable shop safety standards. Inspect the finished tool geometry before placing the ground tool into service.
