Value Collection 01167220 No. 22 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167220 is a No. 22 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 0.1570 inches in diameter and carries a standard 118-degree point angle for broad material versatility. The 2-flute, regular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. Overall length is 3.125 inches with a 2-inch flute length. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without modification. Machinists, maintenance techs, and fabricators use this bit for light metalworking and general shop tasks.

This bit is rated for use on aluminum and non-ferrous materials as its primary workpiece category, making it a practical choice for sheet metal work, aluminum extrusions, brass, copper, and similar softer metals. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements and improves centering on entry. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations. It ships individually and is sold in minimum order quantities of 12 units, suited for shop stocking or toolcrib replenishment.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle — versatile across aluminum, brass, copper, and non-ferrous stock
• High speed steel construction for durability in production drilling environments
• Bright, uncoated finish allows visual wear monitoring during service
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves bit stability
• Regular spiral, 2-flute geometry promotes efficient chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks at 0.1570 inches diameter, compatible with hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling spindles.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Match spindle speed to material and bit diameter following published feeds-and-speeds references for HSS tooling. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is evident to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
