Value Collection 01188507 No 50 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188507 is a No. 50 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that provides surface hardness and corrosion resistance during service. At 0.0700 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit suits common production and maintenance drilling tasks across a wide range of ferrous workpiece materials. The right-hand spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces the thrust load required at the point of entry.

This drill bit is suited for use in machine shops, fabrication environments, and maintenance operations where small-diameter drilling in steel or cast iron is routine. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems. With a 1-inch flute length and 2-inch overall length, the bit fits compact workpiece setups and benchtop drill presses as well as handheld electric drills. It is a practical stocking item for tool cribs and field service kits requiring consistent small-gauge drill availability.

Key Features

• No. 50 wire gauge diameter — 0.0700 inches — for precise small-hole drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for surface hardness and corrosion resistance
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral flutes for consistent chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• General-purpose grade suitable for steel and cast iron workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or collet system accepting a 0.0700-inch straight shank, suitable for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades using standard drill press or handheld power drill setups. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely fixtured before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous materials at production rates to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit when point geometry is degraded to avoid workpiece damage or breakage.
