Value Collection 01245802 Jobber Drill Bit 5.80mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01245802 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and similar materials. Ground to a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning applied to reduce thrust and improve centering at the start of each hole. The oxide finish provides a mild layer of surface protection and helps reduce friction during cutting. At 3-55/64 inches overall length with a 2-41/64-inch flute length, this bit fits the proportions of a standard jobber drill and works in most bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill drivers used in trade and production environments.

This drill bit is suited for drilling steel, cast iron, and comparable ferrous materials in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without special tooling. Right-hand cutting direction is consistent with all standard drilling equipment. The 5.80 mm diameter — equivalent to 0.2283 inches — falls in the 5.00 mm to 6.00 mm size range, making it useful where metric sizing is specified on drawings or where an imperial equivalent close to 15/64 inch is needed.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for drilling steel and cast iron
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for improved entry
• Oxide coating reduces friction and surface wear during drilling
• Regular spiral flute with tapered web configuration for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks
• Right-hand cutting, two-flute design for general-purpose use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit suitable for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and drill drivers equipped with a three-jaw chuck that accepts a 0.2283-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized three-jaw chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life and maintain cut quality. Follow applicable shop safety practices and machine guarding requirements when operating drill press or power hand tools.
