Value Collection 01245208 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 5.20mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01245208 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit with an oxide coating, designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication environments. It measures 5.20 mm (0.2047 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 3.7344 inches and a flute length of 2.5156 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle is the conventional geometry for drilling into steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Web thinning with a tapered web configuration reduces the chisel edge load at entry, improving penetration in harder stock. This bit is a standard addition to any machinist, maintenance technician, or fabricator toolbox.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in ferrous metals including steel and cast iron under general-purpose shop conditions. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machines. The regular spiral flute geometry supports efficient chip evacuation during through-hole and blind-hole drilling operations. Coolant-through capability is not present, so this bit is intended for dry or externally lubricated cutting applications at appropriate feed and speed rates for the material.

Key Features

• 5.20 mm (0.2047 inch) diameter fits the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch drill bit size range
• 118-degree standard point angle for drilling steel and cast iron
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for surface protection
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces entry force and improves bite
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for consistent chip removal
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting a 0.2047 inch straight shank, suitable for drill presses, hand drills, and compatible CNC setups used in steel and cast iron applications.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and removed by machinist or maintenance personnel using a standard keyless or keyed drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout on precision setups. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant externally when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed to avoid work-hardening the workpiece.
