Value Collection 01296904 Screw Machine Drill Bit 19mm Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01296904 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it offers basic lubricity and corrosion resistance for everyday drilling applications. The bit measures 19.00 mm (0.7480 inches) in diameter with a standard 118-degree point angle and a 2-flute regular spiral configuration. Overall length is 129.00 mm (5.0787 inches), with a flute length of 64.00 mm. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. A web-thinned tip reduces thrust and improves centering at the start of the cut. This bit is sized for use in manual or CNC drill presses, lathes, and hand-held power tools.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, making them stiffer and more accurate in applications that require tight tolerances or high feed rates. The 01296904 is well suited for repetitive drilling in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and maintenance settings. Its general-purpose grade and 19 mm diameter place it in the heavy end of common production drilling work. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and lathe spindle rotation. No coolant-through capability means it is intended for use with external coolant or dry drilling with appropriate speeds and feeds.

Key Features

• 19.00 mm diameter with 0.7480 inch decimal equivalent for direct substitution in inch-based setups
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile performance across a range of metal materials
• High-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and toughness for general-purpose drilling
• Oxide coating adds basic surface lubricity and light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust and improves drill point stability
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw and keyed drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any drill press, lathe, or power tool equipped with a chuck capable of accepting a straight-cylindrical shank at 19.00 mm diameter.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a standard drill chuck secured to a drill press, lathe tailstock, or hand-held power drill. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the chuck is loosened before inserting or removing the bit. Tighten the chuck evenly using all key positions to prevent runout. Use appropriate speeds and feeds for the workpiece material; apply external coolant or cutting fluid as needed since this bit has no coolant-through capability.
