Value Collection 01108711 Drill Blank Size 71 Wire Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01108711 is a wire gauge size 71 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 tool fabrication, reamer blanks, punch pins, and other precision tooling applications. At 0.0260 inches in decimal diameter and 1-1/4 inches overall length, this blank provides a compact, accurately sized piece of HSS stock. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals use these to grind specialty cutting tools or to serve as locating pins and gauging references in fixture work.

This drill blank is suited for light-duty toolmaking in machine shops, job shops, and maintenance departments where non-standard or specialty drill geometry is required. The wire gauge sizing follows standard numbering conventions, making it straightforward to source as a replacement or additional stock. The bright uncoated finish is typical for blanks intended for further grinding or surface treatment by the end user. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 pieces.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 71, equivalent to 0.0260 inches decimal diameter
• High speed steel construction for hardness and grindability
• Bright, uncoated finish ready for custom grinding or coating
• 1-1/4 inch overall length suitable for short-pin and punch applications
• Consistent dimensional accuracy for use as gauging or locating reference stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS drill blank for toolmaking, fixture, and gauging applications requiring wire gauge size 71 stock at 1-1/4 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are typically handled by machinists or tool-and-die makers using surface grinders and tool grinders to produce finished cutting tools or precision pins. Secure workholding and appropriate grinding wheel selection for HSS are essential. No cutting edges are present on this blank as received, so it does not require the same safety precautions as a finished drill during handling, but sharp edges can result from grinding operations.
