Value Collection 01356716 Drill Bit Set 115 Pc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01356716 is a 115-piece screw machine length drill bit set designed for metalworking and general-purpose drilling applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, these stub-length bits run cooler and resist wear better than uncoated alternatives. The set covers wire gauge sizes from Number 60 through Number 1, fractional sizes from 1/16 inch up to 1/2 inch, and letter sizes A through Z, making it a comprehensive index for production and maintenance shops. All bits feature a standard 118-degree point angle and straight shanks for compatibility with standard drill chucks. The complete set ships in a metal or plastic index case for organized storage and fast bit selection.

This drill bit set is suited for metalworking environments including fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, plumbing rough-in work, and electrical trade applications where a full range of hole sizes is needed. The screw machine (stub) length provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, reducing deflection when drilling in tight clearances or on drill presses. It is equally at home in general multipurpose applications where a technician needs a single organized set covering the full inch measurement range.

Key Features

• 115-piece index covers wire gauge Number 60 to Number 1, fractional 1/16 to 1/2 inch, and letter A through Z
• High-speed steel construction handles a wide range of metals including mild steel, aluminum, and brass
• Oxide coating improves heat and wear resistance during extended use
• Stub screw machine length provides greater rigidity and reduced deflection vs. jobber-length bits
• Standard 118-degree split point angle for accurate starting on metal surfaces
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Metal or plastic index case keeps bits sorted and protected between uses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-measurement drill bit set compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight-shank bits up to 1/2 inch capacity, suitable for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill press stations in metalworking and multipurpose trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists, mechanics, or trade professionals familiar with drilling operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain accuracy. Inspect bits for wear or damage before each use and replace any bit showing chipping or excessive dulling. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drilling equipment.
