Value Collection 01358415 Size 41 Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358415 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for short-reach, high-precision drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added lubricity and surface protection, this bit measures 1-13/16 inches overall with a 13/16-inch flute length. The wire gauge size 41 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.0960 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle and right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry promote clean chip evacuation and accurate hole entry. The web-thinned, parallel web configuration reduces thrust requirements and helps prevent walking on entry. Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.

Screw machine length bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, making them well-suited for confined spaces, secondary operations on CNC machines, drill presses, and benchtop setups where rigidity and reduced deflection matter. This bit is commonly used in production machining, light fabrication, electrical rough-in work, and plumbing fixture drilling where small-diameter precision holes are required. The general-purpose HSS grade handles a broad range of workpiece materials at moderate spindle speeds without requiring specialized toolholding.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 41 — 0.0960-inch decimal diameter for precision small-hole work
• High-speed steel construction for durability across a range of materials
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip reduces entry thrust
• Screw machine length (1-13/16 inches OAL) provides enhanced rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute with parallel web promotes consistent chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks, suitable for use in drill presses, CNC drill heads, hand drills, and benchtop machines.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Apply cutting fluid or oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
