Value Collection 01242304 Jobber Drill Bit 2.30mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242304 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 2.30 mm (0.0906 inch) diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle. The cutting edges carry an oxide coating that reduces friction and helps extend tool life in general-purpose drilling applications. Overall length is 2.25 inches, with a 1.2656-inch flute length. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without requiring a collet adapter. Right-hand cutting direction follows conventional drill press and hand-drill operation. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a reliable small-diameter drill for everyday production work.

This jobber drill is intended for use in steel and cast iron workpieces in general-purpose shop environments. The 118-degree standard point geometry is a widely accepted angle for drilling into ferrous metals and is compatible with both drill presses and hand-held power drills. The two-flute regular spiral design evacuates chips efficiently in through-hole and blind-hole applications. Typical users include machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and fabrication facilities requiring consistent small-diameter hole tolerances.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction and extended service life
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• Web-thinned tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance
• Right-hand cut, two-flute regular spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• General-purpose grade suitable for production and maintenance drilling tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and hand-held power drills that accept straight-shank bits. Rated for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or technicians familiar with proper drilling procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before engaging the bit, and ensure the chuck is fully tightened on the straight shank to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to manage heat buildup, as this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits that show signs of chipping or excessive wear.
