Value Collection 01356609 Drill Bit Set 60 Pc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01356609 is a 60-piece screw machine length drill bit set covering wire gauge sizes 1 through 60. Screw machine length drills are shorter than jobber-length bits, which improves rigidity and reduces deflection in close-tolerance drilling applications. Each bit is made from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish and features a straight shank and standard 118-degree split point. The set is suited for metalworking and general-purpose drilling tasks and is commonly used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and production shop personnel who need a complete wire gauge range in a single organized case.

This set is intended for metalworking and multipurpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Screw machine length geometry makes these bits well suited for use in drill presses, manual mills, and hand drills where shorter flute length provides better chuck clearance and reduced flex. The full wire gauge range from 1 through 60 covers the majority of tapping and clearance hole requirements encountered in general shop and maintenance work. The included case keeps all 60 sizes organized and accessible on the workbench or in a tool cart.

Key Features

• 60-piece set covers wire gauge sizes 1 through 60 in a single storage case
• Screw machine length design improves rigidity and reduces bit deflection compared to jobber-length drills
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated during metal drilling
• Oxide coating provides basic corrosion resistance and reduces friction
• Standard 118-degree point angle suits general-purpose drilling in metal and other common materials
• Straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or starter set for standard straight-shank drill chucks used in drill presses, hand drills, and manual milling machines in metalworking and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Drill bit sets of this type are typically installed and serviced by machinists, maintenance technicians, or tool-room personnel. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation and that the workpiece is securely clamped. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect bits for signs of wear or chipping before each use and replace individual sizes as needed.
