Value Collection C87740 Jobber Drill 7/64 in Hss 6pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87740 is a 7/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial shop environments. Built from M7-grade HSS, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The black and gold oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. At 2-5/8 inches overall length with a 1-1/2 inch flute length, this bit fits standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, corded drills, and right-angle drill motors. Sold in a pack of 6, it suits maintenance crews, fabricators, and general trade technicians who cycle through small-diameter bits regularly.

This jobber drill is intended for right-hand cutting in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and composite materials common to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard chuck without an adapter. The regular spiral flute clears chips efficiently in through-hole applications. Web-thinned geometry with a tapered web configuration reduces thrust load in handheld drilling situations.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling applications
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration decreases thrust and heat buildup
• Black and gold oxide finish adds lubricity and mild corrosion resistance
• Right-hand cutting with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Pack of 6 bits for cost-effective stocking of a commonly consumed size

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement jobber drill bit for use in any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 7/64 inch straight shank, compatible with bench drill presses, portable corded and cordless drills, and right-angle drill drivers used in trade applications.

Installation Notes

Insert the straight shank fully into the chuck and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Secure the workpiece with a clamp or vise before drilling to prevent rotation. Apply cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel or stainless to extend bit life. Inspect bits regularly for tip wear and replace when the split point shows signs of chipping or the flutes show heat discoloration.
