Value Collection 01246008 6mm Hss Jobber Drill Bit 118 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01246008 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 on a tapered web, which reduces thrust at the start of the cut and improves centering. An oxide finish provides a measure of heat and wear resistance during continuous use. With a 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) diameter and an overall length of 4-1/64 inches (102.00 mm), this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for everyday production and maintenance drilling tasks performed by machinists, millwrights, and general fabricators.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling operations in residential and commercial fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments. It is appropriate for use in ferrous workpiece materials including steel and cast iron. The straight cylindrical shank seats into standard three-jaw drill chucks on both handheld and bench-mounted drills. Its general-purpose grade and regular spiral flute geometry make it a reliable choice for repetitive hole-making in light to medium production scenarios where a standard HSS drill bit is called for.

Key Features

• 6.00 mm (0.2362 inch) diameter with a matching straight cylindrical shank for secure chuck engagement
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust and improved self-centering
• High speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance during drilling in ferrous materials
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and lubricity to extend working life in steel and cast iron
• Regular spiral flute geometry with 2-3/4 inch (70.00 mm) flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in ferrous workpiece materials including steel and cast iron. Compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.2362 inch straight cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or technician into a properly sized drill chuck; ensure the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent walking or deflection at the point. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised.
