Value Collection 01241256 Jobber Drill Bit 1.25mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241256 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and similar materials. The bit measures 1.25 mm (0.0492 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1-57/64 inches (1.8906 inches) and a flute length of 55/64 inches (0.8594 inches). The 118-degree standard point angle is well suited for drilling into steel and cast iron. An oxide coating helps reduce friction and extends tool life under normal shop conditions. This bit is sold individually and is a standard pick for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in small-diameter applications.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in steel and cast iron workpieces in both production and maintenance settings. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. The regular spiral flute geometry and tapered web configuration with web thinning support efficient chip evacuation and reduce the thrust required to start and complete a hole. It is appropriate for use in bench-top drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling applications where a 1.25 mm diameter hole is required.

Key Features

• 1.25 mm (0.0492 inch) diameter with straight cylindrical shank of matching diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in metal-cutting applications
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic surface protection
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration supports reduced drill thrust and cleaner entry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit suitable for drilling steel and cast iron. The straight cylindrical shank fits any standard drill chuck capable of accepting a 0.0492-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in a drill chuck before operation and verify there is no runout before beginning a cut. Always use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life, unless the setup does not permit it. Power down and lock out the drilling equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for spindle speed selection based on material and bit diameter.
