Value Collection 01241751 1.75mm Hss Jobber Drill Bit 118 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241751 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. Ground to a 118-degree standard point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it starts cleanly and cuts efficiently in production and maintenance environments. The oxide finish provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance suited to shop conditions. At 1.75 mm (0.0689 inches) in diameter, this bit handles precision-diameter work where fractional sizes do not land on the required dimension. Machinists, tool-and-die techs, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users.

This drill bit is suited to light-duty drilling operations in steel and cast iron using standard drill presses, CNC machines, or hand-held electric drills with a compatible chuck. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. The regular spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling in ferrous stock. Coolant-through capability is not supported, so flood or mist coolant applied externally is the appropriate method when extended run times or harder materials are encountered.

Key Features

• 1.75 mm (0.0689 inches) diameter for precision metric-dimension holes
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reliable starting
• High speed steel construction rated for steel and cast iron workpieces
• Oxide coating adds lubricity and light corrosion resistance
• Regular right-hand spiral flute with 25 mm (0.9844 inches) flute length promotes chip clearing
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck capable of gripping a 0.0689-inch straight cylindrical shank, including benchtop drill presses, machining centers, and handheld drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with drill press and rotary tool operation. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before running. Power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure workpieces with clamps or a vise — never hold the workpiece by hand during drilling.
