Value Collection -20901-10 5/64 in Mechanics Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -20901-10 is a mechanics-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal and ferrous materials. It measures 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch decimal) in diameter with a 2-inch overall length and a 1-inch spiral flute. The 135-degree split point geometry self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. The high-speed steel (HSS) construction with an oxide finish provides adequate hardness and surface protection for general-purpose metal drilling applications. This bit is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This drill bit is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work. It handles carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and similar ferrous workpiece materials. The mechanics drill bit length classification makes it a practical choice when working in confined or moderately tight spaces where a jobber-length bit would be unwieldy. It is appropriate for use with standard hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) diameter for small-hole drilling in metal workpieces
• 135-degree split point self-centers and reduces drill walking without a center punch
• High-speed steel construction handles carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy steel
• Oxide coating provides basic surface protection and reduces friction during cutting
• Mechanics length (2-inch OAL, 1-inch flute) suits confined-space drilling
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for standard drilling operations
• Web-thinned parallel web configuration for improved chip clearance and reduced thrust

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment. Suitable for use on carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, and stainless steel workpieces.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and general tradespeople. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify chuck tightness to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the bit diameter and workpiece material being drilled.
