Value Collection 01241207 Jobber Drill 1.20mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241207 is a high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and cast iron. The 1.20 mm diameter bit features a standard 118-degree split point and an oxide coating that reduces friction and surface galling during cutting. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. A right-hand, regular spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently in both hand and machine drilling applications. Overall length is 1.8906 inches with a flute length of 0.8594 inches, making this bit well suited for shallow-to-mid-depth holes in production and maintenance work.

This jobber-length drill bit is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople who need a small-diameter hole in ferrous materials. Typical applications include pilot holes, tap-drill operations for small machine screws, and precision location drilling on steel plate, bar stock, and cast iron components. The general-purpose grade and oxide finish make it a practical choice for both bench drill press and handheld electric drill use in shop and field environments.

Key Features

• 1.20 mm diameter with 0.0472 decimal inch equivalent for precise sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for clean entry on steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction
• Right-hand cutting with regular spiral flute for consistent chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web for reduced thrust and easier penetration
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 0.0472-inch shank diameter range. Suitable for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces within the 0.0000 to 0.0500 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and general tradespeople using a standard drill press, lathe tailstock, or handheld electric drill with a keyed or keyless chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws before applying power, and confirm workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear between uses, as small-diameter bits are prone to breakage if run with dull edges or excessive feed pressure.
