Value Collection C87738 5/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit 6 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87738 is a 5/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built to M7 HSS material grade, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires less feed pressure at entry. The oxide and TiN proprietary coating provides added surface hardness and corrosion resistance. At 2 inches overall length with a 1-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and compact drill presses alike. This is a heavy-duty grade bit sold in a pack of 6, making it well suited for shop stocking or job site use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for light-duty drilling operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials where a small-diameter, short-length bit is required. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard keyed and keyless chucks without adapters. The regular spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. It is a common choice for electrical and mechanical work where pilot holes or small clearance holes are needed in sheet metal, junction boxes, or structural components.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit is performed by a machinist, maintenance technician, or qualified tradesperson using a hand drill, drill press, or milling machine. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck tightness. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. For metal drilling, apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve hole quality.
