Value Collection 01241603 Jobber Drill Bit 1.60mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241603 is a 1.60 mm high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous materials. The 118-degree standard point angle provides a reliable starting geometry on flat and curved surfaces. An oxide finish reduces friction and helps extend tool life during moderate-duty use. The straight shank seats directly in standard drill chucks without adapters, and the regular spiral flute evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling applications handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators.

The 01241603 is intended for drilling steel and cast iron in light manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. The 1.60 mm diameter targets fine-tolerance hole requirements where a fractional bit would be too coarse. The 1-57/64-inch overall length keeps the bit rigid in short-reach setups, making it well suited for drill press work, hand drills, and CNC applications where the 0.0630-inch shank diameter fits collet or keyed chuck tooling.

Key Features

• 1.60 mm (0.0630 inch) diameter for fine, precise hole sizing in ferrous stock
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry geometry
• High speed steel construction handles heat generated in steel and cast iron drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage
• Regular spiral flute with web-thinned, tapered web for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill press and hand drill rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in straight-shank drill chucks, collet systems, and CNC spindles accepting a 0.0630-inch shank diameter. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician. Always secure the workpiece and power down or de-energize the drilling equipment before changing tooling. Confirm the chuck or collet is rated for the shank diameter and that the bit is fully seated and tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for steel applications to manage heat and extend bit life.
