Value Collection C87737 1/16 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit 6-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87737 is a 1/16 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built to M7 HSS material grade, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires less feed pressure at startup. A black and gold oxide finish provides lubricity and mild corrosion resistance. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance and improves chip evacuation. Sold in a pack of 6, this bit is a practical stock item for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and maintenance trades who regularly need small-diameter pilot and through holes.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty through-hole drilling in sheet metal, copper tubing, conduit, brackets, and thin structural members encountered in residential and commercial trade work. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard keyless and keyed drill chucks. The right-hand spiral flute and regular spiral geometry make it compatible with conventional corded and cordless drill drivers used on the job site or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Install the bit securely in the chuck and verify it is centered before drilling. Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before applying feed pressure. For drilling metal, use a center punch to mark the hole location and reduce bit movement at startup. Inspect bits for wear or chipping before each use and replace any bit that shows cracking or deformation.
