Value Collection 01108588 Drill Blank Size 58 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108588 is a wire gauge size 58 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 fabrication, reaming, and tooling applications. This blank measures 0.0420 inches in diameter and 1.625 inches in overall length. High speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for metal cutting and tool grinding operations. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for applications where coating compatibility or subsequent surface treatment is required. Installation and preparation are performed by machinists and tool and die professionals in machine shop environments.

This drill blank is suited for small-diameter tooling work in precision machining, instrument manufacturing, and custom drill fabrication. The wire gauge 58 sizing fits applications requiring tight tolerance bores in soft to medium-hardness metals, plastics, and composite materials. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or production tooling runs where consistent blank dimensions are critical.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 58 with a decimal diameter of 0.0420 inches for small-bore precision work
• Overall length of 1.625 inches provides sufficient stock for grinding custom tool geometries
• High speed steel material offers hardness and thermal resistance for metal cutting applications
• Bright, uncoated finish allows for subsequent coating, heat treating, or direct use as needed
• Consistent diameter tolerances support repeatable custom tooling fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank for use in precision machining and tool grinding applications requiring wire gauge 58 diameter stock in high speed steel.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are ground and shaped by machinists using tool and cutter grinders; proper wheel dressing and cooling practices should be followed to maintain blank hardness. Handle with care to avoid nicking the ground surface, as surface damage will affect finished tool accuracy. Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion on the uncoated steel surface.
