Value Collection 01241009 Hss Jobber Drill 1.00 Mm 118 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241009 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized at 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch) diameter, designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication and maintenance applications. The 118-degree standard point angle provides a reliable entry geometry suited to common materials. An oxide coating helps reduce friction and improves surface hardness at the cutting edge. With an overall length of 1.6094 inches (41.00 mm) and a flute length of 0.6719 inches (17.00 mm), this bit fits standard drill chucks used in benchtop drill presses and hand drills. It is a staple for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need small-diameter precision drilling on the job.

This jobber drill bit is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in residential and light commercial service work. Its straight cylindrical shank (0.0394 inch diameter) seats securely in standard keyless or keyed chucks. The right-hand spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently during drilling. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust required to initiate the cut, which is useful when working in tight spaces or with handheld equipment. This bit falls within the 0.0000 to 0.0500 inch drill bit size range category.

Key Features

• 1.00 mm (0.0394 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point for clean entry in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in general-purpose metal drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction at the cutting edge and extends service life
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust for easier bit engagement
• Regular spiral, right-hand flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks across benchtop drill presses and handheld power drills. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify chuck tightening to prevent bit slippage at small diameters. Use cutting fluid or a light lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation. Replace the bit at the first sign of dulling or tip damage, as small-diameter HSS bits are not practical to resharpen in the field.
