Value Collection 01358472 Screw Machine Drill Bit Size 47

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01358472 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for close-tolerance drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials where a shorter, more rigid bit is required. It carries a wire gauge size of 47, equivalent to 0.0785 inches in decimal. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The 118-degree standard point angle is suited for general-purpose work on a wide range of materials. Licensed trade professionals and machining technicians use this bit in drill presses, CNC equipment, and handheld power tools where stub-length rigidity reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy.

This bit is appropriate for general-purpose metal drilling tasks in light manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. Its screw machine length profile, shorter than a jobber-length bit, provides added stiffness, making it well suited for work on small fastener holes, pilot holes, and precision layouts. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly into standard drill chucks without adapters. It ships as a single unit and is sold in multiples of 12.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 47 (0.0785 inches decimal) for precise small-diameter drilling
• High-speed steel construction handles the heat generated in metal-drilling applications
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides light surface protection
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material compatibility
• Screw machine (stub) length at 1.75 inches overall reduces bit deflection versus jobber-length drills
• Web-thinned parallel web construction improves chip evacuation and reduces thrust requirements
• Right-hand cutting with regular spiral flute, 2-flute configuration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the appropriate size range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using drill presses, lathes, or handheld power tools. Secure the straight shank firmly in a keyed or keyless chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the drill point for wear or chipping before each use; a damaged point produces oversized or off-center holes.
