Value Collection 01246206 Jobber Drill Bit 6.20mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01246206 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit ground to a 6.20 mm (0.2441 inch) diameter with a standard 118-degree split point and an oxide finish. The bit measures 4-1/64 inches overall length with a 2-3/4 inch flute length, providing the reach and chip clearance needed for through-hole drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust force at the point, making starts more positive and reducing center-punch dependency on harder stock.

This bit is suited for general-purpose production drilling and maintenance applications in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and field service environments. The 118-degree standard point angle is the conventional choice for steel and cast iron, and the regular spiral flute handles chip evacuation in typical through-hole and blind-hole work. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard drill presses, cordless and corded drills, and CNC drill heads set for conventional rotation. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this bit.

Key Features

• 6.20 mm (0.2441 inch) diameter with straight cylindrical shank of equal diameter for universal chuck fit
• 118-degree standard point angle ground for steel and cast iron applications
• High speed steel (HSS) construction with oxide coating for corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry thrust and improves point stability
• Regular spiral flute, 2-3/4 inch flute length for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with all standard rotary drilling equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight-shank bits in the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch (6.00 to 7.00 mm) diameter range. Primary workpiece materials are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, or maintenance technicians using any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck sized to accept a 0.2441 inch straight shank. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before starting the spindle. When drilling cast iron or hardened steel, reduce feed rate and allow the bit to clear chips frequently to prevent overheating and premature edge wear.
