Value Collection 01378413 Cobalt Drill Bit Size 41

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01378413 is a cobalt screw machine length drill bit designed for high-speed drilling in tough materials. Built to a heavy-duty grade, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure than a conventional 118-degree point. The straight shank and compact 1-13/16 inch overall length make it well suited for drill presses, CNC equipment, and hand-held power tools where clearance is limited. The bright uncoated cobalt construction handles heat generated when drilling hardened steels, stainless, and other abrasive alloys. Wire gauge size 41 equals 0.0960 inch in decimal. Two regular spiral flutes clear chips efficiently in short-hole applications.

Screw machine length drill bits are a standard choice in production machining, metal fabrication shops, and maintenance environments. Their shortened flute length provides added rigidity compared to jobber-length bits, reducing deflection in interrupted cuts and stack drilling. This bit is appropriate for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composites where a wire gauge size in the 0.0000 to 0.1000 inch range is required. It is typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working on production or repair work.

Key Features

• Cobalt tool material provides heat and wear resistance for drilling hardened and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust, minimizes walking, and improves hole entry accuracy
• Screw machine length at 1-13/16 inch overall adds rigidity and reduces deflection versus jobber-length bits
• 13/16 inch flute length handles chip evacuation in short-hole drilling applications
• Straight shank accepts standard drill chucks without additional toolholding hardware
• Heavy-duty grade construction rated for demanding production and maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard screw machine length replacement drill bit for any application requiring a wire gauge size 41 (0.0960 inch) hole diameter with a straight shank and 135-degree split point geometry.

Installation Notes

Install in a compatible drill chuck sized for the straight shank diameter before applying power. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before drilling. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the split point or flute geometry is damaged.
