Value Collection C800 1/4 Straight Flute Gun Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C800 1/4 is a straight flute gun drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications in metalworking and machining environments. Gun drill bits use a single cutting edge and a straight flute channel to evacuate chips and deliver cutting fluid directly to the tip, enabling accurate, clean holes at depths that standard twist drills cannot reliably achieve. This bit is sold as a single unit and weighs approximately 0.01 pounds, making it a lightweight tooling component suited for precision work on CNC machines, drill presses, and dedicated gun drilling setups.

This drill bit is used primarily in industrial and production machining applications where deep, straight bores are required. Typical uses include mold and die work, hydraulic manifold drilling, firearm component manufacturing, and precision part production in aerospace or automotive contexts. It is installed and operated by machinists and tooling technicians working with appropriate machine tool setups and cutting fluid systems.

Key Features

• Straight flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling
• Single cutting edge geometry supports accurate hole alignment and reduced deflection
• Compatible with cutting fluid delivery systems for extended tool life and cleaner bores
• Lightweight construction at 0.01 pounds for easy handling and tool change
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement or trial before bulk procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling component for use in gun drilling machines, CNC machining centers, and deep-hole drilling setups that accept compatible straight flute gun drill bit shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist familiar with deep-hole drilling tooling and machine tool operation. Ensure the machine spindle and tool holder are fully powered down and locked out before mounting or removing the bit. Verify that the cutting fluid delivery system is properly connected and functioning before beginning a drilling cycle. Follow machine manufacturer guidelines and applicable shop safety standards when setting feed rates and spindle speeds.
