Value Collection 01358084 Size 8 Hss Drill Bit 118 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358084 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and job-shop environments. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bit measures 0.1990 inches in diameter (wire size 8) and carries a standard 118-degree point angle for reliable starting and consistent hole geometry. At 2.25 inches overall length, the shortened screw machine body reduces deflection and improves rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, making it a practical choice for drill press and CNC applications where clearance is limited.

This drill bit suits machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance trades working in light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and industrial maintenance settings. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute design are standard for conventional drilling operations in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. Sold individually, it is ordered in multiples of 12.

Key Features

• Wire size 8 (0.1990 inch diameter) for precision hole sizing within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• Oxide coating improves surface hardness and offers basic corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned geometry for reduced thrust and easier starting
• Screw machine length (2.25 inches OAL) reduces deflection versus jobber-length bits in close-clearance setups
• Regular spiral flute with parallel web configuration supports consistent chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolroom technician familiar with drilling operations. Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify runout before beginning a cut. Power down the machine completely before changing or inspecting the bit. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material and machine type.
