Value Collection 01242908 Jobber Drill Bit 2.90mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01242908 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. At 2.90 mm (0.1142 inches) in diameter, it features a standard 118-degree split point angle and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The oxide coating provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during drilling. Overall length is 2.75 inches with a flute length of 1.6094 inches, making it a compact, versatile bit suited for bench drilling, hand drilling, and CNC or drill-press applications in production or maintenance environments.

This jobber drill is built for drilling steel and cast iron in light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication settings. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machines without adapters. The general-purpose grade and standard geometry make it a reliable everyday bit for machinists, millwrights, pipe fitters, and maintenance technicians who need consistent performance at a small diameter. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves centering on hard ferrous workpieces.

Key Features

• High speed steel (HSS) construction for drilling steel and cast iron
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose metal drilling
• Oxide coating for mild lubricity and surface protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves bit centering
• Regular spiral flute promotes reliable chip clearing in through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling machines. Suitable for drilling steel and cast iron workpieces within the 2.00 mm to 3.00 mm bit-size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify the chuck is tightened. Power down or de-energize the drilling machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling hard ferrous materials to extend bit life; this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
