Value Collection 01358365 Size 36 Hss Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358365 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in production and general-purpose applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish, it cuts a 0.1065-inch diameter hole using a wire gauge No. 36 size designation. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common materials. With an overall length of 1.8125 inches and a flute length of 0.8125 inches, this stub-length format reduces deflection and improves rigidity in drill press and hand-drill setups. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical end users.

Screw machine length drill bits are selected when a shorter, stiffer cutting tool is needed compared to a jobber-length bit. The reduced overhang makes them well-suited for turret lathes, screw machines, CNC machining centers, and drill presses where rigidity and hole-location accuracy matter. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry handle general-purpose drilling at standard spindle speeds for HSS tooling. The oxide coating provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size No. 36, cutting diameter 0.1065 inches
• High-speed steel construction for general-purpose drilling
• Oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and lubricity
• 118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility
• Stub screw machine length reduces deflection and improves rigidity
• Web-thinned parallel web for reduced thrust and easier penetration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in drill presses, turret lathes, screw machines, and CNC machining centers accepting a straight cylindrical shank. Fits any standard chuck sized to accept a 0.1065-inch shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck or collet before operation and verify the bit runs true with no visible runout. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent rotation and injury. Apply cutting fluid when drilling steel or other ferrous materials to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if damage is observed.
