Value Collection 01188192 No. 19 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188192 is a No. 19 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) and finished with a black oxide coating. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web for easier penetration and reduced thrust at entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1660 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 3.25 inches with a 2.125-inch flute length. Two regular spiral flutes in a right-hand cutting direction clear chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. Licensed machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and electricians routinely reach for this size when drilling pilot and clearance holes in ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

This bit is rated for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron, making it a practical choice for fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, and field service applications where a reliable wire-gauge drill is needed without a specialized coating. The 0.1660-inch decimal diameter corresponds to the No. 19 wire gauge designation. It is sold individually and is well suited for benchtop drill presses, magnetic base drills, and hand-held corded drills where a straight-shank bit is required.

Key Features

• No. 19 wire gauge size — 0.1660 inch decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability in steel and cast iron
• Black oxide coating provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance
• Regular spiral, right-hand cutting flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for any application requiring a No. 19 wire-gauge straight-shank jobber drill; fits standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic base drills.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly tightened chuck before use. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life, noting this bit does not have coolant-through capability. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point shows chipping or dulling that affects hole quality.
