Value Collection 01242403 2.40mm Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242403 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle and finished with an oxide coating. Sized at 2.40 mm (0.0945 inches) in diameter, it is a general-purpose bit suited for drilling into steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without an adapter. With an overall length of 2-23/64 inches (2.3594 inches) and a flute length of 1-3/8 inches, this bit fits the jobber-length format that machinists and maintenance technicians reach for most often in production and repair work.

This drill bit is intended for general-purpose metal drilling in shop, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. The right-hand spiral flute geometry evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in ferrous workpieces including mild steel and cast iron. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust load at the point, making hand-drill and drill-press use more manageable. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it practical for stocking a tool crib or resupply order.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous metal drilling
• Oxide coating improves lubricity and offers basic corrosion resistance during storage and use
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves point penetration
• Regular right-hand spiral flute promotes consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0945-inch straight shank, for use in drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations on steel and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
