Value Collection 01350230 Screw Machine Drill Bit 23/64

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01350230 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-frequency drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it delivers durability and heat resistance in production and maintenance drilling applications. The bit measures 23/64 inch (0.3594 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a 3-1/16 inch overall length. The shorter screw machine length body provides added rigidity in drill presses and CNC setups, reducing deflection on entry. Licensed trades and machining professionals rely on this profile for consistent, repeatable hole quality.

This drill bit is suited for residential and commercial maintenance shops, fabrication environments, and trade service applications where compact tool length is preferred. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The 1-3/4 inch flute length handles moderate-depth holes appropriate for sheet metal, structural steel, and general shop stock. Web-thinned construction reduces thrust force at the cutting tip, making starts cleaner and reducing walking on harder materials.

Key Features

• 23/64 inch diameter with 0.3594 inch decimal equivalent for precise sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust and cleaner entry
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance
• Screw machine length (3-1/16 inch OAL) provides rigidity over standard jobber-length bits
• Right-hand cutting with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks with no adapter required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, CNC machine, or hand drill equipped with a chuck sized for a straight shank in the 23/64 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drill press and rotary tool safety. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Do not exceed the rated speed for the material being drilled, and apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
