Value Collection 01358035 Drill Bit Size 3 Wire Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358035 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and shop environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for added lubricity and corrosion resistance, this bit cuts a 0.2130-inch diameter hole and features a standard 118-degree split point for fast engagement on flat and curved stock. The two-flute, right-hand spiral design clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. At 2-3/8 inches overall length, the shorter-than-jobber body reduces deflection and improves rigidity in tight clearance applications. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics routinely reach for screw machine length bits when spindle clearance or workpiece access is limited.

This bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, manual lathes, and hand-held drill motors where a compact cutting tool is needed. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks and collet systems without modification. The oxide coating reduces friction at the cutting edge, making the bit particularly effective in mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar non-hardened metals. It covers the 0.2000-to-0.2500-inch drill size range bracket and is sold in single-piece pack quantity.

Key Features

• HSS construction provides sufficient hardness for general-purpose metalworking applications
• Oxide finish reduces friction and improves chip flow at the cutting edge
• 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common metals
• Screw machine (stub) length of 2-3/8 inches overall reduces deflection in tight-clearance setups
• Right-hand, two-flute regular spiral design for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned parallel web configuration for improved penetration and reduced thrust force

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-stock drill bit for any standard three-jaw chuck or collet system accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.2130-inch wire size range.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should select the appropriate spindle speed and feed rate based on workpiece material before use. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet and verify runout before beginning a cut. Always power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing bits. Do not exceed the rated cutting capacity of the drill press or machining center for the material being drilled.
