Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as raw stock for custom tooling, specialty drill fabrication, and gauge pin applications. This blank measures 1-3\/4 inches in overall length and 0.0465 inches in diameter, making it suited for fine-tolerance work where a standard off-the-shelf twist drill is not the right fit. Machinists and tool grinders use drill blanks as starting material when a specific geometry or cutting edge configuration is required for a production or maintenance task.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill blank is appropriate for machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where custom tooling is ground to spec. The wire gauge sizing corresponds to number 56 in the standard wire gauge drill series, which falls in the small-diameter range used for light-duty material removal, pilot holes, and precision instrument work. High speed steel construction allows the blank to be ground and resharpened without the brittleness associated with carbide, making it a practical choice for in-shop tool grinding on conventional surface or cylindrical grinders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge size 56 with a decimal equivalent of 0.0465 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/4 inch overall length provides adequate stock for grinding custom tool geometries\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction supports regrinding and resharpening in the toolroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows direct inspection of surface condition before grinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConsistent diameter tolerance supports use as a gauge pin or alignment reference\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard wire gauge size 56 drill blank for use as raw tooling stock in conventional toolroom grinding applications where a 0.0465-inch diameter, 1-3\/4-inch length blank is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrill blanks are ground to final geometry by a qualified machinist or tool grinder using appropriate surface or cylindrical grinding equipment. Secure the workpiece properly in the grinding fixture before beginning any material removal. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety procedures when operating grinding machinery.
