Value Collection 01180116 11/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180116 is an 11/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and cast iron workpieces. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, an oxide finish for added surface hardness and mild lubricity, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces the thrust required at entry. With a straight cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flute, this bit seats cleanly in standard 3-jaw chucks and drill presses. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working with steel substrates will find this a dependable day-to-day tool.

This jobber drill is suited for light-duty production drilling, on-site trade work, and general shop use where a standard HSS bit is specified. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron. The 2-1/8 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the bit diameter, and the 3-1/4 inch overall length falls within the standard jobber-length range, making it compatible with most benchtop and portable drill setups. It is sold individually and ordered in multiples of 12.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill press or handheld drill with the chuck tightened securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Apply cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
