Value Collection 01165042 1/16 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165042 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications. The bit measures 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) in diameter with an overall length of 1-7/8 inches and a flute length of 7/8 inch. The 118-degree standard point angle provides a reliable entry geometry suited to a wide range of base materials. A bright, uncoated finish keeps the surface free of added coatings, making the bit easy to inspect for wear. Right-hand cutting direction and a regular spiral flute pattern are standard for conventional drill press and hand-drill operation.

This jobber drill bit is sized for light-duty drilling tasks where a small-diameter hole is required. It is well suited for drilling aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials, as well as softer workpieces encountered in HVAC panel work, electrical enclosure modification, plumbing rough-in, and general sheet metal operations. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements at the point of entry.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter with matching straight cylindrical shank
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry geometry
• High speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish for easy wear inspection
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute with web-thinned tapered web to reduce drill thrust
• Two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation in non-ferrous and soft materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials; fits any standard drill chuck accepting a 1/16 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install into a drill press, hand drill, or driver equipped with a chuck rated for the shank diameter before applying power. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement at breakthrough. When drilling metal panels or enclosures in HVAC or electrical service work, de-energize and lock out all equipment before making any penetration. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup.
