Value Collection 01165117 11/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165117 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in light metals and non-ferrous materials. It measures 11/64 inches (0.1719 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 3.25 inches and a flute length of 2.125 inches. The 118-degree split-point geometry and web-thinned tip reduce thrust and help the bit self-center on entry. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for HSS general-purpose tooling. This bit is sold individually and is a common stock item for maintenance, fabrication, and light production drilling applications.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw keyless or keyed drill chucks used in handheld drills, drill presses, and mill spindles. The regular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. It is a practical choice for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable general-purpose bit for sheet metal, tubing, and light structural work on the job site or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals using a keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace or regrind if the tip shows wear or chipping.
