Value Collection 01358324 Size 32 Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358324 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, providing added rigidity and reduced deflection in tight spaces or on drill presses and screw machines. This bit is ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish for basic corrosion resistance and reduced friction. It features a standard 118-degree split point and a web-thinned construction that reduces thrust at the cutting edge and helps the bit start without walking. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without modification.

This bit is suited for production drilling, machine shop work, and maintenance applications where a compact, rigid drill is preferred over a full-length jobber bit. The Size 32 wire gauge designation corresponds to 0.116 inches in decimal. The 7/8-inch flute length and 1-7/8-inch overall length make it a practical choice for shallow-hole work on drill presses, CNC machines, or handheld tools in confined setups. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units per order.

Key Features

• Size 32 wire gauge diameter — 0.116 inches decimal equivalent
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose materials
• Web-thinned, parallel-web construction reduces cutting thrust
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common work materials
• Oxide coating provides light corrosion resistance and reduced friction
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute, straight cylindrical shank

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.116-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel or cast iron to extend tool life. Power down or de-energize the machine completely before changing bits or adjusting chuck position. Wear appropriate eye protection in compliance with applicable shop safety standards.
