Value Collection 01188762 No. 76 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188762 is a wire gauge jobber-length drill bit sized to No. 76 (0.0200 inch decimal equivalent). It is ground from high speed steel (HSS) and carries an oxide finish that provides light surface protection and reduces friction during cutting. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. The bit features a regular spiral flute with a right-hand cutting direction and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust requirements at entry. Total overall length is 0.875 inches (7/8 inch) with a 0.1875-inch (3/16 inch) flute length.

This drill bit is intended for precision small-diameter drilling in metalworking, maintenance, and light fabrication applications. The No. 76 wire size is commonly used for pilot holes, clearance holes for fine fasteners, and instrument-grade drilling in steel and cast iron workpieces. It is suited for use in benchtop drill presses and precision hand drills. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 12 units, making it practical for shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

• No. 76 wire size with 0.0200 inch decimal diameter for tight-tolerance small-bore drilling
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction provides durability across a range of ferrous workpiece materials
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers entry thrust and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS jobber drill bit for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces. Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks accepting 0.0200-inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

Drill bit installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with small-diameter bit handling. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits, as small-diameter bits are sensitive to misalignment. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Do not exceed the recommended spindle speed for the bit diameter and workpiece material combination.
