Value Collection 01241801 Jobber Drill Bit 1.80mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01241801 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose hole-making in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it measures 1.80 mm (0.0709 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration for improved centering and reduced feed force. Overall length is 2 inches (51.00 mm), with a flute length of approximately 63/64 inch (25.00 mm). The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is sold individually and is intended for installation and maintenance professionals, machinists, and trade technicians working with small-diameter fastener clearance holes or pilot holes.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty drilling in residential and commercial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and field service applications. It is sized for work in ferrous base materials including steel and cast iron. The 1.80 mm diameter is commonly used for pilot holes, tap starter holes, and precision clearance applications where a small, consistent bore diameter is required. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for use with conventional forward-rotating drill drivers and drill presses.

Key Features

• 1.80 mm (0.0709 inches) diameter with matching straight cylindrical shank diameter for secure chuck seating
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry into ferrous materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves point stability
• HSS construction with oxide coating for basic corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Regular right-hand spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation
• 2-inch overall length suits confined-space and benchtop drilling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks. Suitable for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces in typical trade and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and qualified trade professionals using standard drill presses, hand drills, or drill drivers. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for feed rate and speed selection when drilling ferrous materials at small diameters.
