Value Collection 20807 Mechanics Drill Bit 0.201 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20807 is a mechanics-length high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose hole drilling in metalworking applications. It measures 0.201 inches in diameter with a 3-5/8 inch overall length and a 2-1/8 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on contact and requires less feed pressure at startup. The oxide coating provides basic surface protection. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. This bit is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with ferrous metals.

This drill bit is intended for use on carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. The mechanics-length body is shorter than a jobber bit, giving it added rigidity in confined drilling situations such as close-tolerance machine work or tight-clearance panel drilling. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks across corded drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills. It is a general-purpose option for production and maintenance environments where consistent results across multiple materials are required.

Key Features

• 0.201 inch diameter with 135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust
• High-speed steel construction handles elevated cutting temperatures without rapid edge degradation
• Mechanics length (3-5/8 inch OAL) provides rigidity advantage over jobber-length bits in tight setups
• Web-thinned parallel web reduces cutting resistance and improves chip evacuation
• Oxide finish offers basic corrosion and wear resistance for general shop use
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard clockwise drilling operations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

Install into a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Secure the workpiece with a vise or clamp before drilling to prevent rotation and injury. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend tool life and manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised.
