Value Collection C87740-12 Jobber Drill Bit 7/64 in Hss 12pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87740-12 is a 7/64 inch high-speed steel jobber drill bit sold in a pack of 12. It features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and requires less pressure to start a hole. The M7 HSS construction handles the heat and wear demands of repetitive production drilling. A black and gold oxide finish provides lubricity and basic corrosion resistance. This bit is a heavy-duty grade tool suited for machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and metalworking trades who need a reliable small-diameter bit for high-volume work.

This drill bit is designed for drilling steel and cast iron in production and maintenance applications. The 1.5 inch flute length and 2.625 inch overall length make it appropriate for through-holes and shallow-depth work in sheet metal, structural steel, and ferrous castings. The straight shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling fixtures. The pack of 12 suits tool cribs, field service kits, and production floor replenishment.
