Value Collection 01180181 9/32 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01180181 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a two-flute regular spiral configuration, and an oxide coating that provides surface hardness and basic corrosion resistance. At 4.25 inches overall length with a 2.9375-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and is well suited for production and maintenance work requiring consistent, repeatable hole sizes. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard three-jaw chuck without adaptation.

This bit is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in light to medium duty applications. Typical use cases include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where a reliable general-purpose bit is needed. The 9/32-inch diameter (0.2812 inches decimal) is a common size for clearance holes, tapping pilots, and assembly work across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades. Web thinning reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation when drilling tougher ferrous materials.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade technicians. Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing signs of chipping or dullness to maintain dimensional accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and secure workholding.
