Value Collection 01167634 No. 63 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167634 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit in No. 63 size, measuring 0.0370 inches in diameter. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a standard 118-degree split point and a regular right-hand spiral flute. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks. At 1.5 inches overall length with a 0.625-inch flute length, this is a compact, small-diameter bit suited for precision hole-making in light-duty machining and fabrication work. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die techs, and sheet-metal fabricators are the primary users.

This bit is rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials, making it appropriate for drilling copper, brass, aluminum plate, and similar soft metals. The web-thinned, tapered-web geometry reduces thrust requirements at entry, which is especially useful when working with thin-wall tubing or sheet stock. Typical applications include pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and precision layout work in light manufacturing and trade-shop environments.

Key Features

• No. 63 wire size — 0.0370-inch diameter for precise small-hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered-web geometry for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction for durability across repeated use in non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — ready to use out of the package, re-sharpenable
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC machines, and hand-held drill drivers accepting straight-shank tooling. Rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced fabricator should install this bit in a properly sized collet or chuck, verifying runout before cutting. Ensure the drill press or machine spindle is fully stopped before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-guarding requirements when operating rotating cutting tools.
