Value Collection 01188754 Wire Size 75 Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188754 is a wire gauge size 75 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. The bit is ground from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for basic surface protection. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a regular spiral flute, and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that aids chip clearance and reduces thrust on entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.021 inches in diameter, and overall length is 1 inch with a flute length of 0.25 inches. Right-hand cutting direction. Installed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics.

This bit is suited for precision small-diameter drilling applications where a wire gauge size is specified rather than a fractional or metric size. The 0.021-inch decimal equivalent targets tight-tolerance holes in ferrous materials including mild steel and cast iron. Typical use cases include pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and instrumentation or electronics panel work requiring sub-1mm hole diameters. The short overall length provides rigidity when drilling in light-duty drill presses, CNC equipment, or hand-held precision drilling tools.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 75 with 0.021-inch decimal equivalent for precision small-diameter work
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into ferrous materials
• High speed steel (HSS) construction handles steel and cast iron workpieces
• Oxide coating provides corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand regular spiral flute with straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks. Rated for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces per the manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press or CNC spindle operation. Secure the straight shank fully in a properly sized collet or keyless chuck before operating. Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped before drilling to prevent bit deflection or breakage at this small diameter. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when drilling ferrous materials.
