Value Collection 01180033 Jobber Drill Bit 3/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180033 is a 3/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. The bit features a standard 118-degree point angle, a regular spiral flute, and an oxide finish that provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use. Overall length is 1-3/4 inches with a flute length of 3/4 inch. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and plumbers working with small-diameter through-holes in steel and cast iron.

This jobber drill bit is intended for small-diameter drilling applications in ferrous workpieces including steel and cast iron. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard clockwise-rotating drill presses, hand drills, and tap and die setups. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance in blind and through-hole applications. Typical use cases include pilot holes, tap preparation, and clearance holes in light fabrication and field service work.

Key Features

• 3/64 inch (0.0469 inch) diameter for precise small-bore drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous materials
• Oxide coating provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard clockwise-rotating drill presses, cordless drills, and hand drills accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 3/64 inch diameter range. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify the spindle is running at a speed appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Use a center punch to locate the hole before drilling to prevent walking on hard surfaces. At this diameter, apply minimal feed pressure and reduce speed as needed to avoid bit breakage.
