Value Collection 01358316 Drill Bit Size 31 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358316 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-volume drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in production and maintenance environments. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand cutting direction with a regular spiral flute pattern. At 1-7/8 inches overall length with a 7/8-inch flute length, the stubby screw machine length profile provides added rigidity and reduced deflection compared to jobber-length bits, making it well suited for drill press and CNC applications where short reach and accurate hole placement matter.

This bit is sized to wire gauge No. 31, which corresponds to 0.120 inch decimal diameter. It is used in general-purpose drilling operations across manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance trades. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification. The web-thinned, parallel-web construction reduces the thrust force needed to start a hole, which helps extend tool life in repetitive drilling cycles on metal workpieces.

Key Features

• Wire gauge No. 31 size, 0.120 inch decimal diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for improved wear resistance
• Screw machine length profile (1-7/8 inches OAL) provides extra rigidity and reduced deflection
• Web-thinned parallel web reduces required feed force and chip packing
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute, straight cylindrical shank

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-stock drill bit for standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.100 to 0.150 inch drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, or maintenance tradespeople familiar with drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm runout before beginning a drilling cycle. Power down the machine and lock out energy sources before changing bits or clearing chip buildup. Do not exceed the rated speed range for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
