Value Collection 01195650 Drill Bit 3.00 Mm Cobalt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01195650 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed, high-heat drilling applications in metal and hard materials. Built from cobalt steel with a straw finish, this bit handles demanding production drilling where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and requires no center punch on flat surfaces. At 3.00 mm (0.1181 inches) in diameter with a 46.00 mm (1.811 inch) overall length, this is a compact, stub-style bit suited to close-clearance work in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drilling fixtures.

This bit is used in light manufacturing, machining shops, maintenance facilities, and trade service work where small-diameter holes are drilled repeatedly in steel, stainless, cast iron, or other hard materials. Its screw machine length profile fits standard drill chucks and reduces deflection compared to jobber-length bits at this diameter. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers. The 2-flute regular spiral geometry promotes chip evacuation in through-hole drilling operations.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for extended tool life in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirement
• Screw machine (stub) length minimizes deflection in tight clearance setups
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill chucks and machines
• 2-flute regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straw finish indicates cobalt heat treatment — no additional coating

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, CNC machining centers, and portable drilling equipment requiring a 3.00 mm diameter hole.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in a keyed or keyless chuck before operation and verify shank seating to prevent slippage. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life. Dispose of worn or chipped bits according to shop safety protocols — do not attempt to resharpen cobalt bits without proper grinding equipment.
