Value Collection 01370071 Cobalt Drill Bit 7/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01370071 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in hard and abrasive materials. It measures 7/64 inch (0.1094 inch decimal) in diameter with a 1-13/16 inch overall length and a 13/16 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and improves hole entry accuracy without a center punch. Built to heavy-duty grade standards, this bit suits machinists, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators who need consistent performance in tough materials including stainless steel, hardened alloys, and cast iron.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which improves rigidity and reduces deflection in tight spaces or on drill presses and CNC machines. This bit is well suited for production drilling, machine shop work, and maintenance applications where hole location accuracy and bit longevity are priorities. The compact length makes it a standard choice for turret lathes, drill presses, and automatic screw machines.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• 135-degree split point for fast penetration and reduced bit walking
• 7/64 inch diameter (0.1094 inch decimal) for precise sizing
• 1-13/16 inch overall length provides added rigidity over jobber-length bits
• Right-hand cutting direction with regular two-flute spiral for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks
• Heavy-duty grade construction rated for demanding production environments

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length drill bit for use with standard straight-shank drill chucks on drill presses, turret lathes, CNC machines, and automatic screw machines requiring a 7/64 inch diameter hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics using a standard drill chuck. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal before starting the machine. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the material being drilled to extend bit life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine guarding requirements during use.
