Value Collection 01220177 17/64 in Left Hand Jobber Drill

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01220177 is a left-hand jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree point angle and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The straight cylindrical shank measures 17/64 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 4.125 inches. Left-hand cutting direction makes this bit well suited for removing broken fasteners and reverse-threaded applications. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves centering at the start of the cut.

This jobber drill bit is used in metalworking, maintenance, and repair applications where a left-hand cutting direction is required. It is commonly deployed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople working on equipment with seized or broken hardware. The 17/64-inch diameter and 4.125-inch overall length fit a standard three-jaw drill chuck. It is intended for use in a reversible drill or drill press operating in reverse rotation.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians in a reversible drill or drill press set to reverse rotation. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck before operation. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup during drilling. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before starting the cut.
