Value Collection 01167667 No 66 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167667 is a No. 66 wire-size jobber drill bit designed for precision drilling in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and similar soft materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0330 inches in diameter, matching the wire-gauge drill diameter exactly. At 1.375 inches overall length with a 0.500-inch flute length, this compact bit is well suited for close-tolerance work in tight spaces. Licensed tradespeople and machinists working with small-diameter holes will find this a reliable general-purpose option.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in light-duty drilling applications involving aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpieces. The No. 66 wire size corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.0330 inches, making it appropriate for pilot holes, small clearance holes, and precision layout work. It is compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment accepting straight-shank tooling. The bit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 12 units per order.

Key Features

• No. 66 wire gauge size — 0.0330 inches decimal diameter for tight-tolerance drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose entry into non-ferrous materials
• High-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and wear resistance for aluminum and non-ferrous applications
• Regular spiral flute design promotes consistent chip removal during drilling
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves centering
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to flake or affect hole diameter in critical fits

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight-shank jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, benchtop drills, and hand-held drilling equipment accepting a 0.0330-inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece material compatibility includes aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Install in a collet, chuck, or drill press rated for the shank diameter before applying power. At this small diameter, use low feed pressure and appropriate RPM for the workpiece material to avoid bit breakage. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking or deflection. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-specific operating procedures when working with small-diameter tooling.
