Value Collection 01350131 Screw Machine Drill Bit 13/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01350131 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for short-reach drilling in tight clearance applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it runs a 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch decimal) diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle. The shorter overall length of 2.25 inches compared to jobber-length bits reduces deflection and improves rigidity when drilling in confined spaces. The right-hand spiral flute configuration evacuates chips efficiently during through and blind-hole operations. This bit suits metalworking tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and industrial machinists who need consistent, repeatable hole quality in general-purpose materials.

This screw machine drill bit is used in production drilling, field maintenance, and repair applications where a stub-length tool is required to work inside machine housings, enclosures, electrical panels, or other restricted areas. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks and quick-change holders without adapters. The 1-3/16 inch flute length accommodates typical material thicknesses encountered in light-to-medium metalworking tasks. General-purpose grade construction makes it appropriate for mild steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials found in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade work.

Key Features

• 13/64 inch diameter with 0.2031 inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal and soft materials
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic wear and corrosion resistance
• Screw machine (stub) length at 2.25 inches overall reduces deflection in tight spaces
• Right-hand two-flute regular spiral design promotes clean chip evacuation
• Web-thinned parallel web configuration reduces cutting resistance at entry
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and quick-change holders without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or quick-change holder accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 13/64 inch size range.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified technician should secure the shank fully into the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed prior to powering the drill. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life, noting that this bit does not support coolant-through operation. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, and discard bits with damaged points to avoid inaccurate holes or workpiece damage. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and machine guarding requirements when operating rotary cutting tools.
