Value Collection 01188044 No 4 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188044 is a No. 4 wire size high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The bit measures 0.2090 inches in diameter with a 3.75 inches overall length and a 2.5 inches flute length. A 118-degree standard point angle provides a versatile cutting geometry suited to a wide range of metal drilling tasks. The oxide coating helps reduce friction and offers light corrosion resistance during storage and use. This bit is sold individually and is a standard consumable tool for machinists, maintenance mechanics, and fabrication trades.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in hand drills, drill presses, and mill setups where a straight-shank bit is required. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.2090 inch diameter fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. The regular spiral flute promotes chip evacuation in ferrous metals. Typical applications include through-hole and clearance-hole drilling in steel plate, structural shapes, cast iron housings, and general shop fabrication work. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the cutting tip, making the bit suitable for lighter-duty drilling setups.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance in ferrous materials
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves tip engagement
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip clearing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 0.2090 inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Install the bit securely in a three-jaw chuck, tightening all chuck key positions evenly to prevent runout. Ensure the drill press or hand drill is powered off and unplugged before inserting or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid or cutting oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces firmly before drilling.
