Value Collection 01167444 No 44 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167444 is a No. 44 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for conventional drilling operations. At 0.0860 inches in diameter and 2.125 inches overall length, this bit is sized for precision pilot holes, clearance holes, and light production drilling in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. A tapered web with web-thinning reduces thrust at the point, improving penetration in softer workpiece materials. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in fabrication, HVAC, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work commonly reach for wire gauge bits in this size range.

This jobber drill bit is suited for hand-held cordless drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers requiring a straight-cylindrical shank. Its general-purpose grade and uncoated HSS construction make it appropriate for low- to moderate-speed applications in aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites. The 1.125-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the shallow-to-medium depth holes typical of trade work. Each unit is sold individually, though minimum order quantities apply per supplier packaging requirements.

Key Features

• No. 44 wire gauge size — 0.0860 inches diameter for precise clearance and pilot hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinning for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and heat resistance for repeated use
• Bright, uncoated finish — suitable for non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood composites
• Right-hand regular spiral flute efficiently evacuates chips during drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in hand drills, drill presses, and machining centers accepting a 0.0860-inch straight-cylindrical shank. Rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill or press powered down and the chuck fully secured before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking at the point. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as a dull bit increases thrust force and can cause workpiece damage or breakage at this small diameter.
