Value Collection 01167659 No 65 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167659 is a No. 65 wire-size jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 118-degree standard point angle and a regular spiral flute with a tapered web configuration and web-thinned tip geometry for clean, consistent entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0350 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter exactly. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches, this bit is sized for precision work in tight clearance applications. It is a general-purpose, right-hand cutting tool suited for bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations.

This bit is rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials, making it a practical choice for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and light-fabrication tradespeople drilling through aluminum sheet, copper fittings, brass fixtures, and similar soft-metal stock. The No. 65 wire gauge size is commonly used for pilot holes, tap-drill operations, and small-diameter through-holes where precise sizing is critical. Coolant-through capability is not included, so conventional flood or dry cutting methods apply.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC spindles accepting a 0.0350-inch straight shank. Intended for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by trade professionals and skilled tradespeople using standard drill chucks rated for the shank diameter. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout is within acceptable limits for the application. For small-diameter bits at this size, use appropriate feed pressure to avoid bit deflection or breakage. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling.
