Value Collection 01188028 Jobber Drill Bit No. 2 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188028 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized to No. 2 wire gauge, with a decimal diameter of 0.2210 inches. It features a standard 118-degree split-point geometry and a black oxide finish that improves lubricity and provides light corrosion resistance during storage. The two-flute right-hand spiral design evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. With an overall length of 3.875 inches and a flute length of 2.625 inches, it fits standard 3-jaw chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this bit in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment for general-purpose metalworking operations.

This bit is designed for drilling steel and cast iron in general-purpose shop and field applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in any standard drill chuck sized to accept a 0.2210-inch shank. The tapered web configuration with web thinning reduces thrust force at the cutting tip, making it practical for hand-held drilling in structural steel, angle iron, and ferrous plate. It is suited for both production environments and one-off maintenance work where consistent hole tolerance in the 0.200 to 0.250-inch range is required.

Key Features

• No. 2 wire size, 0.2210-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing in ferrous materials
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting thrust and extends bit life
• Right-hand regular spiral flutes promote efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle equipped to accept a straight-shank bit with a 0.2210-inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Licensed machinists and maintenance technicians typically install and operate drill bits of this type. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or cast iron to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Wear appropriate PPE, including eye protection, in accordance with shop safety standards and applicable OSHA regulations.
