Value Collection 01189166 Letter P Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01189166 is a letter-size P jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication and maintenance applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, the bit measures 0.3230 inches in diameter and delivers a 118-degree standard point angle for reliable self-centering on flat and curved stock. At 4.625 inches overall length with a 3.3125-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks without modification. The straight cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flute suit most benchtop and handheld drilling equipment used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers.

This jobber drill bit is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in production and MRO environments. The regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole operations. The oxide coating provides a baseline level of lubricity and corrosion resistance suited to dry or lightly lubricated drilling conditions. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements when entering harder ferrous materials, making it practical for both hand-feed and power-feed setups common in shop and field work.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with drilling operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the drill press or power tool is set to an appropriate speed for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating drilling equipment.
