Value Collection 01167501 No. 50 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167501 is a No. 50 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree point angle and a regular spiral flute configuration with web thinning for improved chip evacuation and reduced walking at entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0700 inches in diameter, matching the bit diameter for direct chuck mounting. Right-hand cutting direction and a tapered web configuration make this a general-purpose choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in light-metal applications.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and handheld electric drills where a No. 50 wire-gauge hole is required. At 2 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length, it is well-proportioned for shallow to medium-depth holes in thin sheet stock, brackets, and light structural components made from aluminum, brass, copper, or similar non-ferrous materials. No coolant-through capability means it is intended for dry or externally lubricated drilling setups.

Key Features

• No. 50 wire gauge, 0.0700-inch diameter for precise small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle reduces thrust and suits non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned tapered web improves penetration and reduces heat buildup
• Regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip removal during drilling
• High-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness for general-purpose use
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to flake or alter hole tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with standard 3-jaw chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.0700-inch straight cylindrical shank. Rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by machinists or skilled tradespeople familiar with drilling equipment and feeds-and-speeds for small-diameter tooling. Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck or collet is fully tightened on the shank. Use appropriate lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage under side load — avoid lateral pressure during drilling.
