It features a 118-degree standard point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that aids penetration on hard ferrous materials. The oxide coating provides basic surface hardness and lubricity to extend tool life under moderate cutting conditions. At 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute length, this is a compact bit suited for close-quarters drilling where a full-length jobber would not fit. Machinists, tool and die techs, and general-purpose shop personnel are the typical users.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in light-duty drilling applications in steel and cast iron workpieces. The 0.0550-inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge No. 54, making it appropriate for tap drilling, pin holes, and precision clearance holes in metalworking and fabrication environments. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks on bench drill presses, handheld electric drills, and CNC machining centers with collet-style tooling. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 54 wire gauge size, 0.0550-inch decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide finish for basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, right-hand cutting flute for conventional drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for metalworking applications in steel and cast iron.

Ensure the spindle is fully powered down and the chuck is locked before seating or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous materials to extend bit life and prevent work hardening. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for the diameter, as small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage under lateral load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0550 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01188549\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51689291055410,"sku":"01188549","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2210dff1a1dd7570a19a28c333f28c93.jpg?v=1788256923","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01188549-no-54-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
