Value Collection 01350594 Screw Machine Drill Bit 59/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01350594 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed steel cutting in general-purpose metalworking, machining, and fabrication applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it delivers solid wear resistance in drilling operations where a stubby, rigid profile reduces deflection. The bit measures 59/64 inches in diameter (0.9219 inches decimal) with a 118-degree standard point angle and a 5.75-inch overall length. Web thinning reduces thrust force at the cutting tip, making it easier to start holes cleanly. Technicians and machinists working with ferrous metals, soft alloys, and plastics will find this bit suited for production and maintenance drilling alike.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, making them the preferred choice in tight-clearance setups, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes where rigidity matters. This bit is appropriate for general-purpose shop use across HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in work involving metal studs or brackets, electrical panel fabrication, and machine maintenance. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without modification, covering a wide range of benchtop and floor-model drill presses.

Key Features

• 59/64-inch diameter (0.9219 inches decimal) for precision hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose metalworking
• High-speed steel construction provides heat and wear resistance
• Oxide coating reduces friction and extends cutting life
• Web-thinned tip reduces thrust and improves chip clearance
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Regular spiral flute with 3.75-inch flute length for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes accepting straight cylindrical shanks in this diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and trade professionals using standard drill chucks rated for the shank diameter. Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped or fixtured before starting the cut, and set spindle speed appropriate for the material being drilled. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is visible. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality.
