Value Collection C87741 1/8 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit 6 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87741 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in shop and field applications. Built to M7 HSS material grade, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The gold and black oxide coating provides a layer of surface protection and helps reduce friction during cutting. At 2-3/4 inches overall length with a 1-5/8 inch flute length, this bit is proportioned for standard jobber-length drilling tasks across a range of materials.

This drill bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and light-duty CNC or automated drilling setups where a 1/8 inch straight shank is required. The right-hand spiral flute configuration and web-thinned, tapered web construction make it appropriate for drilling mild steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials. It is sold in a pack of 6, making it practical for shops and service vans that cycle through smaller drill sizes regularly.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit with a 1/8 inch straight cylindrical shank, compatible with any drill chuck or collet sized to accept 1/8 inch round shanks.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened around the straight shank. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Replace the bit if tip geometry becomes visibly damaged, as a worn split point increases thrust load and heat. Dispose of worn bits in accordance with applicable shop safety practices for metal scrap.
