Value Collection 01188036 No. 3 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188036 is a No. 3 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand cutting direction, making it a dependable general-purpose drill for day-to-day metal removal work. The bit measures 3.75 inches overall with a 2.5-inch flute length and a 0.2130-inch straight cylindrical shank. Web thinning reduces thrust and helps the point start cleanly without walking. Two regular spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole drilling.

This jobber bit is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in production, maintenance, and repair environments. Its general-purpose HSS grade suits job-site drilling, light machine work, and shop floor applications where a reliable wire-gauge bit is consumed in volume. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on both handheld and bench-mounted equipment. It is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 12.

Key Features

• No. 3 wire size, 0.2130-inch decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and easier starting
• High speed steel construction for durability on steel and cast iron workpieces
• Black oxide coating provides light corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Regular two-flute spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut, straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose wire-gauge jobber drill for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and milling machines wherever a No. 3 (0.2130-inch) hole diameter is required.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Reduce feed pressure as the point breaks through to avoid grabbing. Do not use on hardened steel or materials outside the bit's rated application without confirming suitability of the HSS grade.
