Value Collection 01180025 Jobber Drill Bit 1/32 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180025 is a 1/32 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. It features a 118-degree standard point angle and an oxide coating that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/32 inch in diameter and the overall length is 1-3/8 inches, making it well suited for compact or close-tolerance work. Two regular spiral flutes channel chips out of the cut efficiently. This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals working with steel and cast iron.

This drill bit is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in light-duty and general-purpose settings. Its compact 1/32 inch diameter makes it appropriate for pilot holes, small fastener clearances, and precision layout work on ferrous materials. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and hand drill applications. The tapered web configuration and web-thinned tip help reduce thrust force at entry, which is useful when working with thin-gauge or hard ferrous stock.

Key Features

• 1/32 inch (0.0312 inch) diameter for small-hole and pilot-hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction for drilling steel and cast iron
• Oxide coating provides basic lubricity and surface protection
• Regular spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks used on bench drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling equipment accepting 1/32 inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is used by machinists and trade professionals operating drill presses or hand drills. Secure the straight shank firmly in a keyed or keyless chuck before operation and verify chuck runout before drilling small-diameter holes. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid on ferrous materials to extend bit life. Small-diameter bits are fragile — avoid side loading or excessive feed pressure that can cause breakage.
