Value Collection 01188671 No 67 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188671 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit sized to No. 67, equivalent to 0.0320 inches in decimal. It is ground from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during dry or lightly lubricated drilling operations. The 118-degree standard point angle is the general-purpose geometry suited for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 1.375 inches overall length with a 0.500-inch flute, this is a short, precise bit intended for small-diameter through-holes and pilot applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install and use these bits in standard drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills.

This bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron, the primary workpiece materials listed for this grade. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust load at entry, which is especially useful at this small diameter where bit deflection and breakage are common failure modes. It is appropriate for production and maintenance drilling in light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and field service environments where small wire-gauge holes are required.

Key Features

• No. 67 wire size, 0.0320 inches decimal diameter for precise small-bore drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose ferrous and non-ferrous applications
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic wear and corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and lowers breakage risk at small diameters
• Regular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks and collet systems that accept a 0.0320-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly tightened drill chuck before powering the machine. At this diameter, use the lowest practical feed rate and ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured to prevent bit walking or snap. Apply a light cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend edge life. Inspect the point for chipping before each use, as small wire-gauge bits are susceptible to tip damage from improper storage or previous overload.
