Value Collection 01167725 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 72 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167725 is a wire gauge size 72 jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute with a tapered, web-thinned web configuration. At 0.025 inches in diameter and 1.125 inches overall length, this is a small-diameter bit intended for precision drilling in tight clearance and light fabrication work. The straight cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard collets and drill chucks without the need for adapters.

This bit is suited for drilling aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials in light manufacturing, instrumentation, electronics assembly, HVAC coil work, and general trade applications where small pilot or clearance holes are required. The 0.3125-inch flute length handles thin-stock and sheet-metal drilling at this diameter. Tradespeople working on small-diameter fastener pilot holes, sensor ports, or instrument panel penetrations will find this bit appropriate for that work.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 72, decimal equivalent 0.025 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• High speed steel construction, bright/uncoated finish
• Right-hand cutting direction, regular spiral flute
• Web-thinned tapered web for reduced thrust at entry
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accepting a 0.025-inch straight shank, suitable for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist, fabricator, or trade technician using a standard drill press, CNC spindle, or hand drill with an appropriate collet or keyless chuck. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent walking at this small diameter. Use cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use — at this diameter, edge condition degrades quickly under heat or side load.
