Value Collection 01180041 Jobber Drill 1/16 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180041 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for drilling into steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand cutting direction, and a regular spiral flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during drilling. Overall length is 1.875 inches with a flute length of 0.875 inches. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/16 inch in diameter. This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople requiring precise small-diameter drilling.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty production drilling and maintenance applications where a 1/16 inch diameter hole is required in steel or cast iron workpieces. Its jobber-length profile fits standard drill chucks and keyed chuck accessories found on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in fabrication, mechanical, and HVAC sheet metal work. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the drill point, making it practical for hand-drill use in confined spaces.

Key Features

• 1/16 inch (0.0625 inch) diameter with matching straight cylindrical shank
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Oxide coating reduces friction and offers light corrosion protection
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute promotes chip clearance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and point walking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 1/16 inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit is used by machinists and tradespeople with standard drill presses or portable hand drills. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and discard bits showing chipping or heat discoloration. Follow applicable shop safety guidelines including eye protection and secure clamping of workpieces.
