Value Collection 01359082 Letter H Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01359082 is a screw machine length drill bit sized to Letter H, equivalent to 0.2660 inches (17/64 inch), designed for general-purpose metal drilling in production and maintenance environments. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an oxide finish that provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during drilling operations. At 2-11/16 inches overall length, this short-series bit is built for use in tight clearances and drill press work where a standard-length bit would be impractical. It runs in the right-hand cutting direction with a regular spiral flute and a straight cylindrical shank. Web thinning reduces thrust load at the tip for cleaner starts in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This bit is suited for production drilling, machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light fabrication work. The screw machine length format makes it well-matched for turret lathes, drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld power drill applications where rigidity and reduced runout are priorities. The 1-1/2 inch flute length accommodates moderate-depth holes in the 17/64 inch diameter range. It is a general-purpose grade bit appropriate for mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• Letter H size — 0.2660 inches (17/64 inch) diameter
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced thrust
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction with oxide coating
• Screw machine (stub) length at 2-11/16 inches OAL for rigid, close-clearance applications
• Regular spiral flute, 1-1/2 inch flute length, right-hand cutting direction
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose screw machine length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks, turret lathes, drill presses, and CNC machining centers that accept straight-shank tooling in the 17/64 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists, tool and die technicians, or qualified maintenance professionals familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation to minimize runout. Always power down and lock out the machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material; note that this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
