Value Collection 01167469 No. 46 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167469 is a No. 46 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. Ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, the bit measures 0.0810 inches in diameter and 2.125 inches overall length. The 118-degree standard point angle is suitable for a wide range of materials, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at entry. This bit is a staple in any machinist, sheet metal, or maintenance technician toolbox.

This jobber drill bit is primarily intended for drilling aluminum and non-ferrous materials, though the 118-degree general-purpose geometry handles mild steel and plastics in light-duty operations. The 1.125-inch spiral flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the small diameter. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, making it compatible with bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where a straight shank is acceptable. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Key Features

• No. 46 wire gauge diameter: 0.0810 inches for precision small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability across aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces
• Bright, uncoated finish for easy visual inspection and re-grinding
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for consistent chip removal
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks with no adapter required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0810-inch straight shank. Primarily rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics. Secure the straight shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before drilling. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before engaging the drill to prevent walking at the small diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality.
