Value Collection 01167477 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 47 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167477 is a wire gauge size 47 high speed steel jobber drill bit intended for general-purpose drilling in light-duty production and maintenance applications. Ground to a standard 118-degree point angle, it produces clean entry holes in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials without specialized setup. The bit measures 2 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank diameter of approximately 0.0785 inches. A bright, uncoated finish keeps the surface bare for easy visual inspection of wear. Regular spiral fluting with a tapered web and web-thinned geometry reduces thrust and helps clear chips efficiently during short-hole drilling operations.

This drill bit is suited for bench drilling, hand drilling, and drill-press work on aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and soft materials in shop, field, and light manufacturing environments. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard drill presses, cordless drills, and hand-held electric drills turning in the conventional clockwise direction. At 0.0785 inches decimal diameter, this bit fills wire-gauge size 47 requirements common in pilot-hole, tap-drill, and clearance-hole layouts used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals working on light-gauge non-ferrous components.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 47, 0.0785 inches decimal diameter for precision pilot and tap-drill sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose non-ferrous and soft-material drilling
• High speed steel construction for durability in repeated use across general shop tasks
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy visual wear inspection with no coating buildup concerns
• Web-thinned tapered web geometry reduces thrust load and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand regular spiral flute, compatible with all standard rotating drill equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the sub-0.1-inch diameter range, suitable for bench-top drill presses, cordless drills, and hand-held electric drills across maintenance and production applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and changed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped to prevent rotation. At small diameters, use low feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and workpiece securing per OSHA general industry standards.
