Value Collection 01167410 No. 41 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167410 is a No. 41 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish. It produces a 0.0960-inch diameter hole and features a standard 118-degree split point for general-purpose drilling. The straight cylindrical shank is sized at 0.0960 inches in diameter for direct chuck mounting. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and a flute length of 1.375 inches, this bit is suited for precision hole-making operations in light-duty metalworking and fabrication environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople are the primary users of this size range.

This drill bit is engineered for use in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and similar soft materials where a general-purpose HSS bit performs reliably. The 1.375-inch regular spiral flute length provides adequate chip evacuation for shallow to moderate-depth holes in these workpiece materials. Typical applications include panel drilling, light fixture and enclosure work, sheet metal fabrication, and repair or maintenance drilling where a No. 41 wire gauge hole is required by specification or print.

Key Features

• No. 41 wire gauge size, 0.0960-inch diameter for close-tolerance hole requirements
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry drilling in non-ferrous materials
• Regular spiral, right-hand cutting flutes for standard drill press and handheld power tool use
• Straight cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and handheld power tools equipped with a standard keyed or keyless chuck capable of accepting a 0.0960-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece material compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using standard drill press or hand-drill equipment. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify that the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible damage.
