Value Collection 01350115 Screw Machine Drill Bit 11/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01350115 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It measures 11/64 inches (0.1719 inches decimal) in diameter with a 2-1/8 inch overall length and a 1-1/16 inch flute length. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. The 118-degree standard point angle suits most general drilling applications. A straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and multi-trade professionals keep these bits on hand for everyday hole-making tasks.

This screw machine drill bit is suited for use in drill presses, lathes, CNC equipment, and hand-held power drills where a shorter-than-jobber-length bit provides improved rigidity and reduced deflection. The stub-length body is especially useful when drilling in confined spaces or when the work setup requires minimal bit overhang. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry make it a standard fit for the majority of rotating drilling operations encountered in shop or field environments.

Key Features

• 11/64 inch diameter (0.1719 inches decimal) for precise sizing within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for easier penetration and reduced walking
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of materials
• Oxide coating provides light lubricity and basic surface protection
• Screw machine (stub) length at 2-1/8 inches OAL offers increased rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and rotating spindles that accept straight-shank tooling in the 11/64 inch size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals operating drill presses, lathes, or hand-held power drills. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck before use and confirm the spindle is at a full stop before changing bits. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as a damaged point can cause workpiece damage or bit breakage. Follow applicable shop safety practices including eye protection and workpiece clamping.
