Value Collection 63323265 Drill Blank Letter W Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63323265 is a letter W drill blank made from high speed steel with a bright uncoated finish. Drill blanks are precision-ground cylindrical rods used as the starting material for custom drill bits, gauging tools, and specialty cutting tools. This blank measures 0.386 inches in diameter and 5.125 inches in overall length, making it suitable for a range of toolmaking and machining applications. The high speed steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance required for fabricating tools that will cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Machinists and toolmakers use these blanks to grind custom profiles or to serve as precision gauges on the shop floor.

This drill blank is suited for machine shops, tool and die operations, and maintenance departments that need a reliable, consistent-diameter steel rod for custom tooling. The letter W size designation corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.386 inches, which falls within the standard letter drill size series. It is appropriate for use in manual or CNC grinding operations where a precision ground blank is the required starting point. Quantity per package is one piece.

Key Features

• Letter W size with a decimal equivalent of 0.386 inches for consistent dimensional reference
• High speed steel construction delivers hardness and heat resistance suited for toolmaking applications
• Bright uncoated finish provides a clean surface for grinding or inspection work
• 5.125 inches overall length offers sufficient stock for most custom drill and gauge grinding tasks
• Single-piece packaging allows purchase of exact quantities needed for small-run tooling jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill blank for toolmaking, gauging, and custom cutting tool fabrication in standard letter drill size applications.

Installation Notes

Drill blanks are worked by machinists and tool grinders using bench grinders, surface grinders, or CNC tool grinders. Secure the blank properly in the appropriate fixture or chuck before grinding to prevent slippage. Follow shop safety protocols for grinding operations, including the use of eye protection and wheel guards. Handle finished blanks carefully to protect the ground surface from nicks or contamination that could affect dimensional accuracy.
