Value Collection 01167451 No. 45 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167451 is a wire gauge No. 45 jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It produces a 0.0820-inch diameter hole with a standard 118-degree point angle, the most common geometry for general-purpose drilling. The 2.125-inch overall length and 1.125-inch flute length place this bit in standard jobber proportions, suitable for bench drill presses, handheld power drills, and CNC drilling operations. The tapered web and web-thinned point reduce entry force and improve chip clearance. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working in fabrication, mechanical assembly, and field service keep this size on hand for small-diameter through-holes.

This bit is intended for drilling aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals, as well as soft plastics and similar materials. Its right-hand, regular-spiral flute geometry lifts chips efficiently out of shallow and moderate-depth holes. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0820 inches in diameter, fitting standard drill chucks without a sleeve or adapter. General-purpose grade construction makes this bit well suited for production runs, maintenance work, and repair operations where a No. 45 wire gauge hole is required.

Key Features

• No. 45 wire gauge size — 0.0820-inch diameter bore
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry geometry
• High speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust load at point entry
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks directly

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0820-inch straight shank, including bench drill presses, handheld power drills, and drill press chucks used in light machining and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople using standard keyed or keyless drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. When drilling non-ferrous metals, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the point for chipping or wear before each use; a damaged point on a small-diameter bit can deflect or break under load.
