Value Collection 01167485 No 48 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167485 is a No. 48 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a standard 118-degree split point and a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 2 inches in overall length with a 1-inch flute, this straight-shank bit is sized at 0.0760 inches in diameter. The two-flute, regular spiral design with a tapered web and web-thinned point promotes chip evacuation and reduces walking at entry. It is a general-purpose tool suited for production and maintenance drilling tasks where a small-diameter, wire-gauge bit is required.

This drill bit is rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials, making it appropriate for drilling copper, brass, aluminum plate, and similar softer metals encountered in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard drill chuck or collet rated for the 0.0760-inch shank diameter. It ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 12 units, making it practical to stock as a consumable item.

Key Features

• No. 48 wire size — 0.0760 inches diameter for precise small-hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for durability across repeated use cycles
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip or flake during cutting
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust force and improves point stability
• Regular spiral, two-flute geometry promotes efficient chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.0760-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press, hand drill, or collet chuck rated for the shank diameter before powering the tool. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking on small-diameter holes. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend tool life. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and chip-clearing procedures.
