Value Collection 01167253 No. 25 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167253 is a wire-gauge No. 25 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance applications. Ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers a decimal diameter of 0.1495 inches and a standard 118-degree point angle suited for a wide range of common materials. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks, and the regular right-hand spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians reach for this bit when consistent, repeatable hole sizing in the No. 25 wire-gauge range is required.

This bit is sized and configured for drilling aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar softer workpiece materials. Its jobber-length proportions, with a 1.875-inch flute length and 3-inch overall length, make it a practical choice for drill presses, CNC turret mills, hand-held power drills, and benchtop drill stations where a compact, rigid tool is preferred over extended-reach alternatives. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements, which is particularly useful when working with thinner stock or in lower-torque setups.

Key Features

• Wire-gauge No. 25 cutting diameter: 0.1495 inches for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle — versatile entry geometry for general-purpose use
• High speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves entry on thin stock
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck sized to accept a 0.1495-inch straight shank, including drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard keyed or keyless chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is firmly fixtured or clamped. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable machine-guarding requirements. Do not exceed the recommended spindle speed for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
