Value Collection 01167436 No. 43 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167436 is a wire gauge No. 43 jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish. The bit measures 0.0890 inches in diameter and 2.25 inches overall, with a 1.25-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in aluminum, soft metals, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. Two regular spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently, and the web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves penetration. This bit is sold individually and is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC setups wherever a No. 43 wire gauge hole is required.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose applications in light manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and production drilling environments. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without modification. Primary workpiece material compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous metals, though the HSS construction also handles plastics and soft composites. The bright uncoated finish makes this bit appropriate for applications where coating adhesion or contamination is a concern. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 43 size, 0.0890 inches diameter
• 118-degree standard point for general-purpose entry in non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides adequate hardness for light production use
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to flake or contaminate sensitive workpieces
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck or collet system accepting a 0.0890-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling non-ferrous metals at higher spindle speeds to extend bit life, even though this bit does not have through-coolant capability. Inspect the cutting edges and web condition before each use; a worn or chipped point should be resharpened or replaced before drilling. Follow shop safety standards including eye protection and secure workpiece fixturing.
