Value Collection 01241405 Jobber Drill 1.40mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241405 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. It measures 1.40 mm (0.0551 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1-57/64 inches (48.00 mm) and a flute length of 55/64 inches (22.00 mm). The 118-degree standard point angle suits flat or pre-spotted work surfaces. An oxide finish provides a degree of lubricity and surface protection during cutting. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks. This bit is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials.

This drill bit is intended for bench-top drill press, hand drill, or CNC drilling operations where small-diameter precision holes are required. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron. The regular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole drilling. Web-thinning on the tapered web reduces thrust requirements and improves center cutting performance. This bit is sold individually and is suited for light-duty production or MRO repair tasks where a compact, small-diameter HSS bit is needed.

Key Features

• 1.40 mm (0.0551 inches) diameter for small-diameter precision hole work
• 118-degree standard point angle compatible with flat and pre-drilled surfaces
• HSS construction with oxide coating for surface protection and reduced friction
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust
• Regular spiral right-hand flute promotes chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight shank bits in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch (0.00 to 2.00 mm) size range.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill or press fully powered down and the chuck key removed from the work area. Ensure the straight shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened evenly before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Small-diameter bits are susceptible to breakage under side loading — keep the workpiece firmly fixtured and advance at a controlled feed rate.
