Value Collection 01242353 Jobber Drill Bit 2.35mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242353 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. The bit measures 2.35 mm (0.0925 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 2.25 inches and a flute length of approximately 1.27 inches. An oxide finish provides basic lubricity and surface protection during cutting. The straight cylindrical shank and two-flute regular spiral configuration make this bit compatible with standard drill chucks used by machinists, maintenance techs, and fabricators working in production or field environments.

This drill bit is suited for right-hand drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The tapered web with web-thinning reduces thrust requirements at the cutting tip, making it practical for small-diameter holes where feed control is important. Its compact jobber length is appropriate for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill motors in light fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel work, and general mechanical maintenance applications.

Key Features

• 2.35 mm (0.0925 inch) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous materials
• Oxide coating adds surface lubricity and basic corrosion protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting thrust on small-diameter entry
• Regular spiral two-flute design promotes chip clearance during drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-shank bits in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch (2.00 to 3.00 mm) diameter range. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals operating hand drills or drill presses. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify chuck key removal before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Follow applicable shop safety procedures including eye protection and workpiece clamping.
