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

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87737-1 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built to M7 material grade HSS with a black and gold oxide finish, this bit operates with a 135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced walking on startup. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration lowers thrust requirements and improves chip evacuation. At 0.0625 inches in diameter with a 1-7/8 inch overall length and a 7/8 inch flute length, this is a compact, fine-diameter bit suited for tight-clearance work. It is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals requiring accurate small-diameter holes.

This bit is well suited for light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, conduit work, HVAC sheet metal fabrication, and plumbing fixture drilling applications. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with standard drill chucks and quick-change chuck systems. The right-hand cutting direction and regular spiral flute geometry support consistent chip removal in both hand-held and drill-press applications. Its heavy-duty grade designation makes it appropriate for repetitive production use as well as field service drilling.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation and use by qualified trade professionals is recommended for best results. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before operation. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use and replace if the cutting edges show chipping or dulling.
