Value Collection 01188010 Jobber Drill Bit No. 1 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188010 is a No. 1 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide coating for light lubrication and corrosion resistance during drilling. Sized at 0.2280 inches in diameter, the bit features a standard 118-degree split point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces entry resistance and lowers thrust requirements in ferrous materials. This is a general-purpose bit suited for production and maintenance drilling by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general contractors.

The 01188010 is designed for drilling steel and cast iron in light-to-medium duty applications. With a 2.625-inch flute length and an overall length of 3.875 inches, it fits standard three-jaw drill chucks with a straight cylindrical shank. Typical use includes hand drilling, drill press work, and bench-mounted operations where a wire-gauge bit is specified on a print or required for tap clearance holes and close-tolerance work.

Key Features

• No. 1 wire gauge size — 0.2280 inches decimal equivalent
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous materials
• Black oxide coating for light corrosion resistance and surface lubricity
• Regular right-hand spiral flute for positive chip clearing
• Straight cylindrical shank — fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2280-inch straight shank, compatible with hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling setups where wire gauge No. 1 tooling is specified.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit with the drill, press, or machine powered off and locked out per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck jaws and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel or cast iron to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is evident.
