Value Collection C87741-12 Jobber Drill Bit 1/8 in 12pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87741-12 is a 1/8-inch high speed steel jobber drill bit sold in a pack of 12. Built from M7 grade HSS with a black and gold oxide finish, this bit is rated for heavy-duty drilling applications. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on entry and requires less feed force than a standard 118-degree point. Web-thinned construction with a tapered web configuration supports faster chip evacuation and cleaner hole starts. The straight cylindrical shank measures 1/8 inch in diameter and fits standard drill chucks. This bit is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals.

The C87741-12 is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication, mechanical rooms, and field service environments. The right-hand spiral flute design handles general-purpose drilling in mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials. With a 1-5/8-inch flute length and 2-3/4-inch overall length, the bit is appropriate for shallow to mid-depth hole applications typical in HVAC bracket work, panel fabrication, and plumbing rough-in tasks. The 12-piece pack supports shop stocking and reduces downtime on multi-hole jobs.

Installation Notes

Install in a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect bits for wear or chipping before each use and replace bits that show signs of damage.
