Value Collection 01245000 Jobber Drill Bit 5mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01245000 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier starting and reduced walking on entry. An oxide coating provides a mild surface hardness and heat resistance for extended service life in production or maintenance drilling applications. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1969 inches in diameter, compatible with standard drill chucks. This bit is sold individually and is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals.

This jobber drill bit is sized at 5.00 mm (0.1969 inches) and is intended for light to medium-duty drilling in ferrous metals including steel and cast iron. With a regular spiral flute configuration and right-hand cutting direction, it fits standard drill chucks and is well suited to bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill drivers used in fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and trade service work. The 2-7/16 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the overall 3-5/8 inch body length.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1969 inch straight cylindrical shank. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck before use and verify the chuck key is removed prior to powering the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life, noting that this bit does not support through-tool coolant delivery. Allow the web-thinned point to seat before applying full feed pressure to minimize bit deflection and workpiece damage.
