Value Collection 01165059 5/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165059 is a 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch decimal) high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in light-duty trade and production applications. The bit features a standard 118-degree point angle and a bright, uncoated finish. Overall length is 2 inches with a 1-inch flute length. The straight cylindrical shank measures 5/64 inch in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. Web thinning on the tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at small diameters. This bit is sized for precision work and is commonly stocked by HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and sheet metal tradespeople for pilot holes and small-diameter through-holes.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include pilot drilling for sheet metal fasteners, electrical box knockouts, copper pipe brackets, and similar small-bore tasks. The right-hand spiral flute design pulls chips up and out of the hole during standard forward drilling operations. Sold individually per package.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch diameter (0.0781 inch decimal) for fine, precision-diameter holes
• 118-degree standard point angle — compatible with most benchtop and handheld drill presses
• High speed steel construction for durability across non-ferrous workpiece materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to flake or interfere with close-tolerance drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and improves chip flow
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on handheld drills and drill presses. Optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople using handheld or bench-mounted drills equipped with a compatible straight-shank chuck. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement at small bit diameters. Use appropriate drill speed for the workpiece material — higher RPMs are generally recommended for small-diameter bits in non-ferrous metals. Inspect the bit tip for wear or chipping before each use, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage under lateral load.
