Value Collection 01220052 5/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01220052 is a 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch decimal) high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for left-hand cutting applications. It features a standard 118-degree point angle and a bright, uncoated finish that suits general-purpose drilling in a range of common materials. With a regular spiral flute and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it provides efficient chip evacuation and reliable penetration. The overall length is 2 inches, with a 1-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank measuring 5/64 inch in diameter. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals install this bit for precision drilling tasks where left-hand rotation is required.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in metalworking, maintenance, and light fabrication scenarios where a left-hand cutting direction is necessary. Left-hand bits are commonly used when attempting to remove broken fasteners or reverse-threaded applications, as the cutting action can back out damaged screws during drilling. It is appropriate for use in hand drills or drill presses configured for reverse rotation. The general-purpose grade places it within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch drill bit size range, making it a standard choice for fine-diameter drilling tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with left-hand drill operations. Ensure the drill or drill press is set to reverse rotation before use, as this bit is designed for left-hand cutting direction only. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid for harder materials to extend bit life. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
