Value Collection -20909-10 Mechanics Drill Bit 13/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -20909-10 is a mechanics-length, high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit designed for accurate, controlled drilling in metalworking and general shop applications. It measures 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch decimal) in diameter with a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. The oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and helps with chip evacuation. At 3-1/8 inches overall length, the mechanics-length body keeps the bit rigid and suited for confined-space or close-clearance drilling where a jobber-length bit would be impractical.

This drill bit is intended for use in metal fabrication, maintenance and repair, and general machining operations. The right-hand spiral flute with web-thinned geometry reduces cutting resistance in tough ferrous materials. Typical users include machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on production floors, job sites, or in shop environments. It ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it well suited for stocking tool cribs or service vans.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point self-centers on entry and reduces drill walking without a center punch
• Mechanics length (3-1/8 inches OAL) provides rigidity and fits tight clearances
• High-speed steel construction maintains edge integrity across a broad range of ferrous workpiece materials
• Web-thinned, parallel-web geometry lowers thrust force required during drilling
• Oxide coating offers basic surface protection and aids lubrication during cutting
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard drill press and hand-drill use

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose drilling in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and steel workpieces. Fits any standard drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a drill press or hand drill with a properly sized chuck; confirm the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened before operation. Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent rotation during drilling. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or oil when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend bit life and manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace any bit showing chipping, discoloration from overheating, or reduced cutting performance.
