Value Collection 01358357 Size 35 Hss Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358357 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in short-clearance applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, this bit handles the demands of production drilling in machine shops, fabrication environments, and field service work. It is wire gauge Size 35, equivalent to 0.1100 decimal inches (7/64 inch), with a standard 118-degree point angle that suits most common drilling operations. The 1-7/8 inch overall length is intentionally short to reduce deflection and improve hole accuracy on drill presses, screw machines, and CNC lathes where stub-length tooling is required. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and industrial maintenance techs are the primary users of this tooling class.

This bit is suited to production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication, machining, and light manufacturing settings. The screw machine length format is the standard choice when a jobber-length bit is too long for a turret or multi-spindle setup, or when rigidity is a priority over reach. The 7/8 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for shallow to moderate-depth holes in steel, aluminum, and similar materials at this diameter range. A straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks and collets without adapters.

Key Features

• Wire gauge Size 35 (0.1100 inches decimal, 7/64 inch fractional equivalent) for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common shop materials
• Oxide coating reduces surface friction and offers basic corrosion resistance during storage and use
• Screw machine (stub) length at 1-7/8 inches OAL minimizes deflection in tight-clearance drilling setups
• Web-thinned parallel web design reduces thrust force at the cutting edge
• Right-hand cutting, regular spiral flute for standard clockwise-rotation drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collets accepting a straight cylindrical shank at the 0.1100 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, and maintenance technicians using drill presses, screw machines, CNC lathes, or hand drills with appropriate collet or chuck capacity. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify runout before drilling production holes. Always use appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace when point geometry is no longer within tolerance.
