Value Collection 0695281 7/64 Cobalt Stub Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0695281 is a screw machine length (stub) drill bit designed for drilling in metalworking and industrial applications. Built from cobalt high-speed steel, this bit handles harder materials and higher heat than standard HSS tooling. The 7/64 inch diameter, 2-flute design with a 135-degree split point reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force, making it well suited for hand-held and machine drilling. The straw finish indicates heat-treated tooling. Right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute pattern provides efficient chip evacuation in most common materials.

Screw machine length drill bits are shorter than jobber-length bits, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection in close-tolerance drilling. This bit is used in machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing where accurate, repeatable hole placement matters. Typical applications include drilling steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and similar alloys. The straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and collet holders across bench drills, CNC machining centers, and hand drills.

Key Features

• Cobalt HSS construction for improved heat and wear resistance in hard materials
• 135-degree split point reduces entry walking and decreases required thrust force
• Stub length design increases rigidity and minimizes deflection compared to jobber-length bits
• 2-flute regular spiral geometry for efficient chip removal
• Right-hand cut with straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders
• Straw finish indicates heat treatment for improved hardness

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use screw machine length drill bit compatible with any drill chuck or collet holder accepting a straight shank in the corresponding diameter.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit with all power sources disconnected or the machine in a locked-out, de-energized state per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant for the workpiece material to extend bit life, noting this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Worn or chipped cutting edges should be replaced rather than reused to maintain hole quality and prevent bit breakage.
