Value Collection 01344209 Cobalt Drill Bit 1-5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01344209 is a reduced shank cobalt drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, stainless steel, and other hard materials. The bit measures 1-5/16 inches in diameter with a 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank, allowing it to chuck into standard 1/2-inch drill chucks despite the oversized cutting head. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. With a 6-inch overall length and a straw finish indicating cobalt heat treatment, this bit is built for shops, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need reliable performance in difficult materials.

This drill bit is suited for metalworking environments including fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and mechanical contracting work. The reduced shank design allows use with standard 1/2-inch chuck equipment when drilling large-diameter holes that would normally require a larger machine. The right-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes chip ejection during through-hole drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. General-purpose performance makes it appropriate for one-off and repeat drilling tasks where a full-shank bit or specialty tooling is not available.

Key Features

• 1-5/16 inch cutting diameter with a reduced 1/2-inch straight-cylindrical shank for standard drill chuck compatibility
• Cobalt tool material with straw finish for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard metals
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry and centering
• 3-inch flute length supports drilling to a maximum depth of 3 inches
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute type for consistent chip clearing
• General-purpose rating suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal drilling

Compatibility

Designed for use with 1/2-inch drill chucks on standard drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand drills; suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal and similarly hard workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople. Secure the reduced shank fully in a 1/2-inch drill chuck before use and verify the chuck is tightened properly. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to preserve cutting edge life, as this bit is rated for no through-tool coolant. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection in compliance with applicable shop safety standards.
