Value Collection 01358332 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 33

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358332 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in production and maintenance environments. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added lubricity and light corrosion resistance, this bit carries a wire gauge size 33 designation, equivalent to 0.1130 inches in decimal. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling across a wide range of workpiece materials. At 1-7/8 inches overall length, the shortened screw machine geometry improves rigidity and reduces deflection in drill press and hand drill applications.

This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who require a compact, rigid drill bit for close-tolerance work in confined spaces or on drill presses. The reduced overall length compared to jobber-length bits provides greater stability when drilling small-diameter holes through steel plate, pipe fittings, brackets, and similar hardware. General-purpose grade makes it appropriate for intermittent production work and field repair tasks alike.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 33, equal to 0.1130 inches decimal diameter
• High-speed steel construction for durability across common workpiece materials
• Oxide finish provides light lubricity and surface protection
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• Screw machine length (1-7/8 inches OAL) improves rigidity and reduces chatter
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute, straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility

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 0.1000 to 0.1500 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists and maintenance technicians using a drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle with a compatible chuck. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the bit is centered to avoid runout. Power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate for the workpiece material, as forcing the bit can cause breakage at this small diameter.
