Value Collection 01188366 No. 36 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188366 is a No. 36 wire-size high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The bit measures 2.5 inches in overall length with a 1.4375-inch flute length and a 0.1065-inch diameter. A 118-degree standard point angle suits it for a broad range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The oxide coating provides a measure of lubricity and surface hardness. Web thinning reduces thrust requirements at the cutting edge, improving penetration efficiency in harder materials. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators are the primary users of this size range.

This bit is suited to light-duty and precision drilling applications where wire-gauge sizing is specified on a print or work order. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and through-holes in sheet metal or thin-wall tubing. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks on bench drills, hand drills, and CNC machining centers. Its general-purpose grade makes it appropriate for job shop use, field maintenance kits, and production line tooling where No. 36 wire gauge is called out.

Key Features

• No. 36 wire size, 0.1065-inch diameter for precise hole sizing to gauge specifications
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across a wide range of ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance at elevated cutting temperatures
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion protection during storage and use
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip clearance
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation in through-hole drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1065-inch straight cylindrical shank, including bench drills, hand-held power drills, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by machinists or qualified technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before initiating a cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged.
