Value Collection 01188416 No. 41 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188416 is a No. 41 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide coating. It cuts a 0.0960-inch diameter hole and features a standard 118-degree split-point geometry with a web-thinned, tapered web for consistent starting and reduced walking on entry. The regular spiral flute measures 1.375 inches in length and evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. Right-hand cutting direction. Straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks and collets. Suited for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling tasks across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This bit is rated for use on steel and cast iron as its primary workpiece materials, making it appropriate for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance technicians drilling sheet metal, structural steel, cast housings, and similar ferrous stock. The 2.375-inch overall length is standard jobber proportions, giving adequate reach for most panel and bracket applications without excessive deflection. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 12 units per order.

Key Features

• No. 41 wire size — 0.0960-inch diameter for precision small-hole work
• 118-degree standard point with web thinning reduces thrust and walking on entry
• High speed steel construction handles steel and cast iron at general-purpose cutting speeds
• Black oxide coating provides light lubricity and mild corrosion resistance during storage
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collets without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.0960-inch straight shank, including handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling setups used in trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before starting the spindle. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Power down the drill or press and allow the spindle to come to a complete stop before changing bits or clearing chips. Dispose of worn bits safely — HSS bits retain sharp edges after breakage.
