Value Collection 01241652 Jobber Drill Bit 1.65mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241652 is a high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. Sized at 1.65 mm (0.0650 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, this bit handles steel and cast iron with consistent performance. An oxide finish reduces surface friction and provides modest corrosion resistance. The overall length is 2-1/64 inches (2.0156 inches), with a flute length of 63/64 inch (0.9844 inches), making it suitable for shallow to moderate-depth holes in production and repair applications. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance trades are the primary installers.

This jobber drill bit is intended for right-hand, clockwise-rotation drilling in steel and cast iron workpieces. Its straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks and collets across a wide range of benchtop drill presses, CNC drilling centers, and hand-held power drills. The regular spiral flute geometry promotes consistent chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is well suited to general shop work where small-diameter precision holes are required in ferrous materials.

Key Features

• 1.65 mm (0.0650 inch) diameter fits the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch small-diameter drill range
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile entry into steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction withstands the heat generated in ferrous drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light surface protection
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the cutting tip
• Two-flute regular spiral design promotes steady chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets sized to accept a 0.0635-inch shank diameter, suitable for ferrous materials including steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with small-diameter tooling. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation, and verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter. Coolant-through is not supported; use cutting fluid applied externally when drilling steel to extend tool life. Discard the bit if tip chipping or excessive runout is observed, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage under lateral load.
