Value Collection 01370063 Cobalt Screw Machine Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01370063 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in tough materials including hardened steels, stainless steel, and other hard alloys. With a 3/32 inch diameter and a 135-degree split point, this bit starts on contact without a center punch and reduces walking on curved or sloped surfaces. The split point geometry also lowers thrust force, making it easier to control feed rate. At 1-3/4 inches overall length, the screw machine format provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in short-hole applications. It is suited for machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and tool-room professionals working with drill presses, CNC machines, or handheld power tools.

This drill bit is used in production drilling and precision fabrication environments where a shorter, stiffer bit column improves hole location accuracy. The cobalt construction makes it appropriate for drilling ferrous metals, high-tensile alloys, and cast iron. It fits standard straight-shank chucks and is commonly used in metalworking shops, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in metal work, and general industrial maintenance where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction rated for heavy-duty drilling in hard and abrasive metals
• 135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers feed force at entry
• Screw machine length (1-3/4 inches OAL) provides rigidity and reduces deflection
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill chucks and machines
• 3/4 inch flute length with regular spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank fits standard drill press and handheld chuck sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a straight-shank screw machine length drill bit compatible with standard drill press chucks, CNC turret setups, and handheld power tool chucks accepting 3/32 inch shank diameters.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit should be performed by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with metalworking drill operations. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm chuck jaw engagement before starting the spindle. Power down and de-energize any machine tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for extended tool life when drilling hard alloys, even though this bit does not support coolant-through delivery.
