Value Collection 01242452 Jobber Drill Bit 2.45mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242452 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose hole-making in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The bit measures 2.45 mm (0.0965 inches) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle, making it suitable for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. A black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at the cutting edge, improving penetration in harder workpiece materials. This bit is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling ferrous metals including steel and cast iron in both shop and field applications. The regular spiral flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation in typical through-hole and blind-hole drilling. At 60.00 mm (2.3594 inches) overall length, with a 35.00 mm (1.375 inches) flute length, this bit fits within the standard jobber-length range and works in benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling applications where the 0.0965-inch shank diameter is accommodated.

Key Features

• 2.45 mm (0.0965 inches) diameter with 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous workpiece materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web design lowers cutting thrust and improves penetration
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute promotes effective chip removal
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron workpieces. Compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.0965-inch straight shank. Falls within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 decimal-inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill presses, hand drills, or CNC equipment. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before use. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life, noting this bit does not support internal coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised.
