Value Collection 01358282 Drill Bit Size 28 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358282 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. The bit measures 0.1405 inches in diameter (wire size 28) with an overall length of 1-15/16 inches and a flute length of 15/16 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle is suited for a wide range of common materials. Its compact screw machine length body reduces deflection in drill press and CNC turret applications where stub-length tooling is preferred.

This drill bit is used in machine shop, maintenance, and light fabrication environments. The shorter-than-jobber body length makes it well suited for drill presses, turret lathes, screw machines, and CNC machining centers where rigidity and reduced runout are priorities. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking professionals reach for screw machine length bits when hole location accuracy and tool stability matter more than reach depth.

Key Features

• Wire size 28 diameter: 0.1405 inches for precise sizing in standard wire gauge applications
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across common materials
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic wear and corrosion resistance
• Screw machine (stub) length body reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned point with parallel web configuration reduces thrust requirements at entry
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks and collet holders

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in drill presses, turret lathes, screw machines, and CNC machining centers accepting straight-shank tooling in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized drill chuck or collet before operation and verify that the tool is concentric to minimize runout. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing tooling. Eye protection and appropriate chip guards are required when operating drilling equipment.
