Value Collection 01249010 Jobber Drill 12.60mm Hss 118deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01249010 is a high speed steel jobber drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle with an oxide coating for surface protection. The bit measures 12.60 mm (0.4961 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 152.00 mm (5.9843 inches) and a flute length of 114.00 mm (4.4882 inches). It features a straight cylindrical shank at 12.6 mm diameter, two regular spiral flutes, a right-hand cutting direction, and a web-thinned tapered web for improved chip clearance at the cutting edge. Classified as a general-purpose grade, this bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals who need a reliable metric-size jobber drill for production or field use.

This drill bit is intended for use in metalworking applications on steel and cast iron workpieces. The general-purpose grade and standard geometry make it a practical choice for through-hole drilling, step drilling setups, and repetitive production runs in fabrication shops, maintenance environments, and on-site trade work. The oxide coating reduces friction during entry and helps extend tool life under moderate cutting conditions. Coolant-through capability is not provided on this model, so external coolant or cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling harder steels or thicker stock.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by machinists or qualified trade technicians using a drill press, CNC machine, or handheld power drill with an appropriately sized chuck. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the chuck key is removed before securing or removing the bit. Apply cutting fluid or external coolant when drilling steel or cast iron to prevent premature wear. Verify spindle speed and feed rate are appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before beginning the cut.
