Value Collection 01247097 Jobber Drill 7.25mm 118 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01247097 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. It features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning and a tapered web configuration for improved penetration and reduced thrust. The oxide coating provides light corrosion resistance and helps manage heat during drilling. With an overall length of 4.25 inches and a regular spiral flute design, this bit is suited for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and machining centers where a standard straight-shank jobber drill is specified.

This drill bit is intended for trade and industrial use in metalworking applications involving steel and cast iron workpieces. It is a general-purpose grade bit appropriate for maintenance, fabrication, and production drilling tasks. The straight cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.2854 inches fits standard three-jaw drill chucks. The 2.9531-inch flute length provides adequate chip evacuation for typical jobber-depth holes. It is sold individually and suitable for machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance technicians.
