Value Collection 01180074 7/64 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180074 is a 7/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. It features a 118-degree standard point angle and an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1094 decimal inches in diameter, and the overall length is 2-5/8 inches. Two regular spiral flutes clear chips efficiently along the 1-1/2 inch flute length. This bit is a standard trade item installed by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals who need consistent, accurate holes in steel and cast iron substrates.

This jobber drill bit is suited for light to medium drilling tasks in residential and commercial maintenance, HVAC installation, plumbing rough-in, and electrical work where a 7/64 inch hole is required. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry make it compatible with standard corded and cordless drill drivers as well as drill presses. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust force at the drill point, which is useful when working in confined spaces or with lighter-duty equipment.

Key Features

• 7/64 inch (0.1094 decimal inch) diameter for precise, repeatable hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during drilling
• Oxide coating adds surface lubricity and basic corrosion protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces entry thrust and improves bit life
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute design for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by hand-tightening into a keyed or keyless chuck rated for the shank diameter. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
