Value Collection 01370097 9/64 in Cobalt Drill Bit 135 Deg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01370097 is a screw machine length drill bit designed for heavy-duty drilling applications in metal and hard materials. Built from cobalt steel, this bit handles elevated heat and wear better than standard high-speed steel. It measures 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 1-15/16 inches and a flute length of 15/16 inch. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on entry and requires less thrust to start a hole. The short overall length of screw machine format provides added rigidity when drilling in tight spaces or in machine tool setups. This bit is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 12 units.

This bit is suited for use in drill presses, CNC lathes, screw machines, and handheld power drills where a compact, stiff bit is needed. The cobalt construction makes it appropriate for stainless steel, cast iron, titanium alloys, and other difficult-to-machine materials commonly encountered in metalworking, HVAC fabrication shops, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel fabrication. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling operations. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters.

Key Features

• Cobalt tool material with straw finish for heat resistance in hard and abrasive metals
• 135-degree split point reduces walking and lowers required entry thrust
• Screw machine length format provides rigidity in machine tool and close-clearance applications
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight shank fits standard drill chucks
• Heavy-duty grade construction rated for demanding production drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock drill bit for use in any drill press, CNC screw machine, or handheld chuck accepting a straight-shank bit in 9/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow standard machine tool safety practices. Secure the workpiece and verify chuck tightness before operation. When drilling hard metals such as stainless steel, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edge for wear or chipping before each use and replace bits that show signs of dulling to maintain hole tolerance.
