Value Collection 01165125 Jobber Drill Bit 3/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165125 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for high-volume drilling applications across a wide range of materials. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point and a regular right-hand spiral flute pattern. It measures 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 3.5 inches and a flute length of 2.3125 inches. The straight cylindrical shank and tapered web construction make it compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on both benchtop and handheld equipment. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and general fabricators rely on this type of bit for everyday hole-making tasks.

This drill bit is suited for drilling aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar softer workpiece materials. The web-thinned point geometry reduces thrust requirements at entry, which is particularly useful when drilling non-ferrous stock without a center punch. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, light structural work, and general-purpose maintenance drilling in both shop and field environments. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and handheld drill use.

Key Features

• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• 118-degree standard point angle for reliable entry on aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces axial thrust at drill entry
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluid or dry drilling
• Regular right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld power drills equipped with a 3/16-inch or larger chuck capacity. Primary workpiece materials include aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press and handheld drill operation. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before starting. Applying an appropriate cutting fluid is recommended when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed parameters for the workpiece material.
