Value Collection 01242155 Jobber Drill Bit 2.15mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242155 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. The bit measures 2.15 mm (0.0846 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 2.125 inches and a flute length of 1.1406 inches. A 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. The oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. Web thinning reduces thrust requirements at the cutting tip, making hand-drilling and lower-torque machines more effective on this small-diameter bit.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty metalworking tasks including sheet metal, structural steel, and cast iron. It fits standard drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank of 0.0846 inches. Typical applications include pilot hole drilling, electrical box knock-outs, HVAC sheet metal work, and plumbing bracket fabrication where a small, precise hole is required. The two-flute regular spiral design evacuates chips efficiently in both hand drills and drill presses.

Key Features

• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in metal drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and resists surface corrosion
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use
• Web-thinned tip with tapered web configuration reduces cutting thrust
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral two-flute design
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0846-inch straight cylindrical shank, including handheld power drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment configured for the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm bit size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists, metalworkers, and trade professionals including HVAC technicians and plumbers performing on-site fabrication. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Use cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous materials to extend bit life and improve hole quality.
