Value Collection 01189174 Letter Q Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01189174 is a Letter Q high-speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous materials. It measures 0.3320 inches in diameter and carries a standard 118-degree point angle, making it well-suited for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The bit features an oxide coating that provides moderate lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. With an overall length of 4.75 inches and a flute length of 3.4375 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and is sized appropriately for hand-held drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople are the primary users of this bit.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in steel and cast iron workpieces across residential maintenance, commercial fabrication, and light industrial applications. The straight cylindrical shank allows direct chuck mounting on most standard drilling equipment. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust required at the point, improving chip evacuation in deeper hole applications. It is sold individually and is packaged as a single unit per order.
