Value Collection 01167691 Jobber Drill Wire 69 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167691 is a wire gauge size 69 jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for conventional drilling applications. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0292 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter, and the overall length is 1.375 inches with a flute length of 0.500 inches. This bit is suited for trade shops, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need small-diameter drilling capability in non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is designed for use in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials in general-purpose applications. Its compact jobber-length geometry makes it well suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment where precise small-diameter holes are required. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust load at the cutting tip, which is especially useful when drilling thin-wall tubing or sheet stock common in HVAC and plumbing work.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 69 (0.0292 inches decimal equivalent) for precision small-diameter work
• 118-degree standard point angle compatible with general-purpose drilling setups
• High speed steel construction provides durability across repeated use cycles
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for non-ferrous and soft metal applications
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces cutting resistance and entry thrust
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard drill chucks and drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 0.0292-inch range, compatible with hand drills, drill presses, and CNC spindles set up for small wire gauge work in aluminum and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill chuck rated for straight-shank bits of this diameter and confirm chuck jaws are fully tightened before operation. When drilling aluminum or non-ferrous metals, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Power down all equipment and secure the workpiece before changing bits. Dispose of worn bits in a puncture-resistant sharps container to prevent injury.
