Value Collection 01180090 Jobber Drill Bit 9/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180090 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication environments. Ground to a standard 118-degree point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it starts cleanly and reduces the thrust required to begin a cut. The bit measures 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch decimal) in diameter with a 1-3/4 inch flute length and an overall length of 2-7/8 inches. An oxide coating provides a baseline level of surface hardness and helps reduce friction during cutting. This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and general tradespeople working with steel and cast iron.

This jobber drill is suited for light-duty to medium-duty drilling operations in steel and cast iron workpieces. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks across a wide range of portable drills and drill presses. The 9/64 inch size falls within the common 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch decimal range, making it a practical choice for pilot holes, clearance holes, and general through-drilling tasks in both shop and field settings.

Key Features

• 9/64 inch diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation at drill start
• High speed steel construction supports use in steel and cast iron applications
• Oxide surface coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage
• Regular right-hand spiral flute design with 2 flutes for efficient chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks on portable drills and drill presses. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always clamp the workpiece to prevent rotation during cutting. When drilling steel or cast iron, use appropriate cutting fluid where applicable to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the drill point for wear or chipping before each use and replace when the cutting edge is dull.
