Value Collection 01241454 Jobber Drill 1.45mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241454 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Measuring 1.45 mm (0.0571 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 1-57/64 inches (1.8906 inches), this bit features a standard 118-degree split point and an oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently, making it a practical choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in shop or field environments.

This jobber drill is suited for light-duty drilling in steel and cast iron, and is a common choice for CNC drill presses, bench drill presses, and hand drilling applications where small-diameter precision holes are required. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks. At 0.0571 inches in diameter, it falls within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch size range typical of small-diameter jobber bits used in sheet metal, instrument work, and general mechanical assembly.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability in steel and cast iron applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web design reduces drill entry resistance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 0.0571-inch straight shank, including bench drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of small-diameter drill bits should be performed by machinists or technicians familiar with proper chuck seating and drill press setup. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel or cast iron to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Avoid excessive feed pressure on bits of this diameter, as it increases the risk of breakage.
