Value Collection 01188648 No. 64 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188648 is a No. 64 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Made from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for surface protection, it has a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand cutting direction. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0360 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 1.5 inches. A tapered web with web-thinning reduces thrust requirements and improves chip evacuation during drilling operations. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with small-diameter precision holes.

This drill bit is built for general-purpose use in production and maintenance environments where small wire-gauge sizes are required. At 0.0360 inches (No. 64), it handles fine-detail drilling tasks in steel and cast iron workpieces. The regular spiral flute and 5/8-inch flute length support consistent chip removal in short-depth applications. It is packaged individually and sold in minimum order quantities of 12 units, making it practical for shop stock or job-site kits.

Key Features

• No. 64 wire gauge size at 0.0360 inches decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• High speed steel construction for durability in ferrous materials
• Oxide coating provides corrosion resistance and surface hardness
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and CNC or manual drilling equipment that accepts straight-shank bits in the 0.0360-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of small-diameter drill bits should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drilling speeds and feeds for HSS tooling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout to avoid bit breakage at this diameter. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or cast iron to extend tool life. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing or inspecting tooling.
