Value Collection 01190115 Cobalt Jobber Drill 11/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01190115 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit designed for professionals who need reliable hole-making performance in tough materials. Built to a 135-degree split point geometry, it starts on contact without a center punch and reduces walking on hard surfaces. The cobalt construction handles elevated cutting temperatures, making it a practical choice for stainless steel, hardened alloys, and other demanding workpiece materials. At 3.25 inches overall length with a 2.125-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber format that fits most drill presses, hand drills, and CNC setups. The straight cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard three-jaw chucks. A straw finish indicates heat treatment without an additional coating layer.

This bit is suited for metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field technicians drilling into stainless steel or hardened materials where standard high-speed steel bits lose their edge quickly. The 11/64-inch diameter (0.1719 inches decimal) fills a common sizing need for tapping pre-drill work and close-tolerance hole applications. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill presses and handheld electric drills. No coolant-through capability means cutting fluid should be applied externally when drilling deep holes or working in heat-sensitive materials.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction rated for stainless steel and hardened materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punch requirement
• 11/64 inch (0.1719 inch) diameter with 2-1/8 inch flute length
• 3-1/4 inch overall length in standard jobber format
• Straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks
• Regular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• Straw finish indicating cobalt heat treatment, no additional coating

Compatibility

Designed as a heavy-duty jobber drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks; compatible with drill presses, handheld electric drills, and CNC spindles accepting straight-shank bits in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should follow standard machine shop or field drilling practices. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling to prevent movement. Apply cutting fluid externally when working in stainless steel or hardened materials to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the split point before each use — cobalt bits can micro-chip if dropped or torqued laterally.
