Value Collection 01358118 Size 11 Hss Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358118 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for added lubricity and surface protection, it features a 118-degree standard point angle that suits a wide range of common drilling applications. At 2.25 inches overall length, this is a stub-style bit engineered for use in tight clearances where a jobber-length bit will not fit. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks, and the two-flute right-hand spiral design provides consistent chip evacuation during operation.

This bit is sized to wire gauge No. 11, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1910 inches, placing it in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch size range. It is suited for general-purpose drilling tasks in maintenance, fabrication, and machine shop environments. The screw machine length is commonly used in drill presses, lathes, and CNC turret setups where short-reach rigidity reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy. The parallel web configuration and web-thinned geometry reduce thrust force at the cutting tip.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Oxide coating provides surface lubricity and corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Screw machine (stub) length at 2.25 inches OAL reduces deflection in tight setups
• Web-thinned parallel web reduces cutting thrust and improves penetration
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for effective chip clearing

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill press, lathe, or CNC machine powered down and the spindle fully stopped. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation to prevent slippage and workpiece damage. Machinists and fabricators should follow applicable shop safety standards and use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life.
