Value Collection 01292952 Screw Machine Drill Bit 5mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01292952 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend tool life, this bit cuts a 5.00 mm (0.1969 inch) diameter hole with a standard 118-degree point angle. The shortened screw machine length body — 62.00 mm (2.44 inches) overall — provides increased rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for drill press work, CNC setups, and applications where chatter control matters. Installation and use is typical for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with production drilling tasks.

This bit is appropriate for general-purpose production drilling in light-duty machining environments. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks across bench-top drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held power drills. The web-thinned point reduces entry force and walking on flat stock. The 2-flute regular spiral configuration provides efficient chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole applications across a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• 5.00 mm (0.1969 inch) cutting diameter for precision hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material entry
• High-speed steel construction for durability in production drilling
• Oxide coating reduces surface friction and helps resist wear
• Screw machine length body (62.00 mm OAL) provides rigidity and reduces deflection
• Web-thinned point lowers thrust requirements and improves centering
• Right-hand cut, 2-flute regular spiral for efficient chip removal

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-stock screw machine drill bit fitting any standard drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 5.00 mm to 6.50 mm size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using drill presses, CNC equipment, or handheld power drills. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify chuck runout is within acceptable limits to avoid premature wear. Do not apply excessive side load or use this bit as a reamer. Follow applicable shop safety procedures including eye protection and secure workpiece fixturing.
