Value Collection 01198514 Cobalt Jobber Drill No 51

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01198514 is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size No. 51, designed for drilling into stainless steel, hardened materials, and other tough ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The bit measures 0.067 inches in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 1-inch flute length. It features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks. This is a heavy-duty grade bit sold individually and suited for production drilling, maintenance, and precision hole work performed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and industrial maintenance technicians.

The 01198514 is used in applications where high heat resistance and edge retention are required. Cobalt construction makes it well suited for stainless steel fabrication, hard alloy drilling, and situations where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. The 135-degree split point geometry is particularly effective on work-hardening materials like austenitic stainless. Typical install scenarios include sheet metal work, structural fabrication, and maintenance drilling in industrial or commercial environments. The right-hand spiral flute provides efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for high heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 135-degree split point self-centers and reduces drill walking on hardened surfaces
• No. 51 wire gauge size, 0.067 inches in diameter
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks
• Heavy-duty grade rated for stainless steel and hardened material drilling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit jobber drill for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations requiring a No. 51 wire gauge diameter bit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or technician familiar with drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck is tightened to the shank before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel or hardened materials to extend bit life and control heat, even though this bit does not have internal coolant-through capability. Inspect the cutting edge for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point shows chipping or rounding.
