Value Collection 01165018 Jobber Drill Bit 1/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165018 is a 1/64 inch diameter jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish. It features a standard 118-degree point angle and a regular spiral flute configuration, making it a general-purpose tool suited for light-duty drilling applications. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/64 inch in diameter and the overall length is 3/4 inch, keeping it compact for precision work in tight clearances. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at small diameters.

This drill bit is designed for use on aluminum and non-ferrous materials including copper, brass, and similar soft metals. Its small diameter makes it well suited for electrical, HVAC, and plumbing trades where pilot holes, wire-routing holes, or small-bore perforations are needed in sheet metal, thin aluminum extrusions, or non-ferrous fittings. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for use with conventional drill motors and drill presses. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry and centering
• High speed steel construction for durability across repeated use
• Bright/uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection for wear

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces. Fits standard drill chucks and drill presses capable of holding a 1/64 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals using a compatible drill chuck or drill press. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation to prevent slippage at this small diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. At 1/64 inch diameter, apply minimal feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage.
