Value Collection 01294107 Screw Machine Drill Bit 7.30mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01294107 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added lubricity and corrosion resistance, this bit handles production and maintenance drilling where a shorter, stiffer geometry reduces deflection. The 7.30 mm (0.2874 inch) diameter pairs with a standard 118-degree point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration, making it a reliable choice for precision hole-making in tight-clearance applications. Machinists and maintenance technicians working with drill presses, CNC equipment, or hand-held power tools will find this bit suited to everyday shop use.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which improves rigidity and accuracy in shallow-hole applications. This 01294107 is appropriate for use in screw machine operations, drill press work, and general production environments where hole location and roundness matter. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters, and right-hand cutting geometry suits conventional drilling setups. It is well-suited to metal fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who need a dependable general-purpose bit in the 6.50 mm to 8.00 mm size range.

Key Features

• 7.30 mm (0.2874 inch) diameter for precise metric hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle — ready to use without additional grinding
• High-speed steel construction handles moderate heat and wear in production use
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion protection
• Screw machine (stub) length improves rigidity and reduces deflection vs. jobber bits
• Web-thinned design reduces thrust requirements and improves chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank, covering the 6.50 mm to 8.00 mm drill size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist or qualified trades technician using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation to prevent slippage. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols when operating drilling equipment. Confirm spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before starting the cut.
