Value Collection 01180017 Jobber Drill Bit 1/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180017 is a 1/64 inch (0.0156 inch) high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. The bit carries an oxide finish that provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. It features a standard 118-degree split point and a regular right-hand spiral flute geometry, which efficiently evacuates chips from the cut zone. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/64 inch in diameter, matching the drill body, and is compatible with standard drill chucks and collets. Overall length is 3/4 inch with a 3/16 inch flute length. Installation and use require no coolant-through capability.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty precision drilling applications where small-diameter holes are required in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust required at entry, making it practical for hand-held and bench-top drilling equipment. Its compact 3/4 inch overall length is appropriate for confined work areas or where minimal bit extension is needed. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical work will find this bit useful for pilot holes, mounting perforations, and small fastener clearances.
