Value Collection 01198415 Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit No. 41

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01198415 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 41, with a decimal diameter of 0.0960 inches. Built for heavy-duty drilling applications, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and cuts through tough materials with less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree tip. The straw finish indicates heat-treated cobalt steel construction throughout. With an overall length of 2.375 inches and a 1.375-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for precision work in metal fabrication, maintenance, and mechanical assembly environments. It is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals requiring consistent hole quality in hard materials.

This bit is specifically suited for drilling stainless steel, hardened materials, and other ferrous metals where standard high-speed steel bits lose their edge prematurely. The regular spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups. Typical applications include pilot holes, through-holes for fasteners, and precision drilling in sheet metal or structural components where hole diameter tolerance matters.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size No. 41, 0.0960-inch diameter for precision hole sizing
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed force
• Cobalt steel construction rated for stainless steel and hardened materials
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cut for efficient chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Heavy-duty grade construction for extended service life in demanding applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard straight-shank jobber drill bit compatible with hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment accepting a 0.0960-inch diameter straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is used by machinists and maintenance trades in standard drilling operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or hardened materials to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Ensure the drill chuck is tightened fully on the straight shank before operation. Wear appropriate eye protection per applicable shop safety standards.
