Value Collection 01188093 No. 9 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188093 is a No. 9 wire-size jobber-length drill bit made from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute, making it a general-purpose drill suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, and machine shop environments. The bit measures 3.625 inches in overall length with a 2.4375-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.1960 inches. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry and helps center the bit without a pilot hole on most metal surfaces.

This jobber bit is designed for drilling steel and cast iron in general-purpose applications. The 0.1960-inch decimal diameter corresponds to the No. 9 wire gauge size and falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range. It is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC installers for tapping prep, clearance holes, and through-hole drilling in ferrous metals. The oxide finish provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. Each package contains one drill bit and is sold in minimum order quantities of 12 units.

Key Features

• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-stock jobber drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks and compatible drilling equipment sized for a 0.1960-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals following standard machine shop safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the drill chuck is properly tightened before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable OSHA general industry standards for drilling operations. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for HSS bits in the material being drilled, and apply cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life.
