Value Collection 01290659 Screw Machine Drill Bit 1.30mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01290659 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for precision drilling in tight spaces and short-reach applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it measures 1.30 mm (0.0512 inches) in diameter with an overall length of 30 mm (1.1811 inches) and a flute length of 8 mm. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand spiral flute geometry suit a wide range of general-purpose drilling tasks. The straight-cylindrical shank provides secure chuck retention in standard drill chucks and machine spindles. This bit is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals.

This screw machine drill bit is suited for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance environments. Its shorter overall length compared to jobber-length bits makes it ideal for drill press work, CNC machining centers, and hand-held drilling operations where reduced deflection and improved rigidity are priorities. The oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance during dry or low-coolant drilling operations. It is appropriate for use in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials within the general-purpose HSS cutting range.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose metal drilling
• Oxide coating improves surface lubricity and provides basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile material entry
• Right-hand spiral flute efficiently evacuates chips during drilling
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Web-thinned parallel web design reduces thrust force at the cutting tip

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and machine spindles accepting straight-cylindrical shanks in the 1.30 mm diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with proper tooling practices. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and de-energized before loading or removing the bit from the chuck. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck to the full depth of engagement to prevent slippage or runout. Always operate within the recommended speed and feed parameters for the material being drilled and the bit diameter in use.
