Value Collection 01188226 No. 22 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188226 is a No. 22 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 and a right-hand cutting direction, making it a general-purpose drill suited for production and maintenance drilling operations. The bit measures 3.125 inches in overall length with a 2-inch flute length, and the straight cylindrical shank diameter is 0.1570 inches. Two regular spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently. Licensed tradespeople and skilled machinists are the primary installers of this tool in both shop and field environments.

This jobber drill is intended for drilling into steel and cast iron workpieces in general-purpose applications. The oxide surface treatment reduces friction and provides minimal corrosion resistance during storage and light cutting. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry thrust and improves centering, which is useful when working in tight tolerances or on harder ferrous materials. Typical applications include maintenance repair operations, fabrication shops, and metal-working setups where a No. 22 wire-gauge hole diameter of 0.1570 inches is required.

Key Features

• No. 22 wire size with a decimal diameter of 0.1570 inches
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use on ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction for durability across repeated use cycles
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves centering on entry
• Two regular spiral flutes for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit suitable for use with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling equipment that accept a 0.1570-inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople following safe tooling practices. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and confirm the workpiece is clamped securely before drilling. Do not exceed the speed and feed recommendations for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
