Value Collection 01167741 No. 74 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167741 is a No. 74 wire-size jobber drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a standard 118-degree point angle and a right-hand, regular spiral flute configuration. The bit measures 1 inch in overall length with a 0.25-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.0225 inches. The tapered web is web-thinned for improved chip evacuation and reduced thrust on entry. This is a general-purpose drill bit suited for production and maintenance drilling tasks handled by machinists, tool-and-die professionals, and industrial maintenance technicians.

This bit is rated for drilling aluminum and non-ferrous materials as its primary workpiece application. Its compact 1-inch overall length makes it well suited to close-quarters or precision drilling situations where a standard jobber length would not fit. The No. 74 wire gauge size (0.0225 inches decimal) is commonly used for fine pilot holes, instrument work, small fastener clearance holes, and electronics assembly applications. Coolant-through capability is not supported by this bit.

Key Features

• No. 74 wire size at 0.0225 inches decimal diameter for precision small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry on non-ferrous workpieces
• High speed steel construction with bright, uncoated finish
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral flute geometry
• Tapered web with web-thinning to reduce thrust and improve chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.0225-inch straight shank, for use in bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling applications on aluminum and non-ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a compatible drill chuck or collet. Secure the shank fully and verify chuck tightness before operation. Use appropriate spindle speeds for the workpiece material and bit diameter — small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage at excessive feed rates. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before drilling to prevent grab and bit deflection.
