Value Collection 01165034 Jobber Drill 3/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165034 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized at 3/64 inch (0.0469 inch decimal) with a 118-degree standard point angle. The bit features a bright, uncoated finish and a regular spiral flute ground for right-hand cutting. Overall length is 1-3/4 inches, with a 3/4-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank matching the 3/64-inch drill diameter. The web is thinned with a tapered web configuration to reduce thrust at entry. This is a general-purpose bit suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need consistent small-diameter drilling performance.

This bit is rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials, making it appropriate for sheet metal work, electrical and HVAC panel fabrication, plumbing fixture installation, and general light-duty machining where small-diameter pilot or through-holes are required. The straight shank seats directly in standard drill chucks or collets without adapters. It is sold individually but must be ordered in multiples of 12 per supplier minimum order requirement.

Key Features

• 3/64 inch (0.0469 inch) diameter with matching straight cylindrical shank
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for durability in repeated drilling cycles
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating degradation or flaking during use
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces feed force on small-diameter entry
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting 3/64-inch straight shanks, suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade technicians familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation and verify concentricity to avoid bit deflection or breakage at this diameter. Always power down and isolate the drill press or hand drill before changing bits. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for the workpiece material, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage under side load or excessive thrust.
