Value Collection 01358597 Size 59 Screw Machine Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The Value Collection 01358597 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for short-hole drilling in metal, plastic, and composite materials. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating that reduces friction and helps extend tool life in general-purpose applications. Wire size 59 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.0410 inches, making it suited for small-diameter precision work. The 118-degree standard point angle centers quickly on most materials. At 1.375 inches overall length, this stub-style bit fits standard drill chucks and is commonly used in production machining, CNC drilling, and bench drill press work. Two regular spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during operation.

This drill bit is used in light- to medium-duty drilling applications where a shortened overall length provides added rigidity and reduced deflection compared to jobber-length bits. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, fixture work, tap drilling, and close-tolerance hole placement. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks. It is a general-purpose grade bit appropriate for trade machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking shops running repetitive small-diameter drilling operations.

Key Features

• Wire size 59 with 0.0410 inch decimal diameter for small-diameter precision drilling
• High-speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction and improved tool life
• 118-degree standard point angle for fast centering on common materials
• Screw machine (stub) length at 1.375 inches OAL for increased rigidity and reduced deflection
• 0.5 inch flute length with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned parallel web design for improved penetration and reduced thrust
• Right-hand cutting with straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand drills accepting straight cylindrical shanks in the 0.0000 to 0.1000 inch decimal inch size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trained maintenance personnel familiar with rotating cutting tools. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely fixtured before beginning any drilling operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable OSHA and shop safety standards when operating drill equipment. Do not exceed the recommended speed and feed range for the workpiece material and bit diameter.
