Value Collection 01242056 Jobber Drill 2.05mm 118deg Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242056 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle and finished with an oxide coating for basic lubricity and corrosion resistance. It measures 2.05 mm (0.0807 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 2.125 inches and a flute length of 1.1406 inches. The straight cylindrical shank and regular spiral flute geometry make it compatible with standard drill chucks. Web-thinning on the tapered web reduces thrust at entry and helps the bit start cleanly without a center punch on flat stock. Suited for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron, this bit is a shop-consumable used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose applications in ferrous materials including steel and cast iron. Its jobber length provides a balance of reach and rigidity that suits bench drilling, drill press work, and hand-held power tool use in typical maintenance and fabrication environments. The 2.05 mm diameter falls within the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm size range, making it appropriate for small-diameter through-hole and pilot-hole work where precision fit is required.

Key Features

• 2.05 mm (0.0807 inches) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry
• High speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance suitable for steel and cast iron
• Oxide coating offers basic lubricity and surface protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust and improves centering
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and hand-held power tools with chucks sized to accept a 0.0807-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation or movement during cutting. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing signs of chipping or dullness to avoid workpiece damage.
