Value Collection 81430068 3/32 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 81430068 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, maintenance, and production environments. It features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing walking and the need for a center punch. The parabolic flute geometry clears chips efficiently, making it well suited for deeper hole applications. At 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch decimal) diameter with a 2.25-inch overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for small-diameter work in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The bright, uncoated finish keeps cost low for high-turnover tooling situations. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers are the primary users.

This drill bit is intended for use on steel and cast iron as primary workpiece materials, making it appropriate for structural fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel drilling, and general maintenance drilling. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard drill chuck, and the right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all conventional drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations. The heavy-duty grade designation indicates it is built for more demanding cycle times than standard jobber bits in the same size class.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point self-centers on contact, reducing drill walk on flat and curved surfaces
• Parabolic flute design promotes fast chip evacuation in deeper holes
• High speed steel construction provides good wear resistance across steel and cast iron
• Bright uncoated finish suits high-turnover applications where per-unit cost matters
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force required during drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw and keyless chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit for use in any hand drill, drill press, or CNC drilling setup that accepts a straight shank. Primary workpiece materials listed are steel and cast iron.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a standard drill chuck. Secure the shank fully and confirm chuck is tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life, noting this bit does not have through-coolant capability. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the point geometry is compromised.
