Value Collection C87746-12 Jobber Drill Bit 13/64 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87746-12 is a 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch) high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for production drilling in metal, wood, and general-purpose materials. Built to M7 HSS material grade, it carries a black and gold oxide finish that provides light lubricity and surface protection during drilling. The 135-degree split point allows the bit to self-center on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on most surfaces. Web thinning further improves cutting efficiency and reduces thrust requirements at the drill press or hand drill. This pack contains 12 bits, making it practical for shop stocking or job-site supply.

This jobber drill bit is suited for general metalworking, fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and light manufacturing environments. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks across a wide range of drill presses, cordless drills, and corded hand drills. At a heavy-duty grade with a 2-7/16 inch flute length and 3-5/8 inch overall length, it handles typical through-hole and clearance-hole applications in mild steel, aluminum, plastics, and similar materials. It ships in a quantity of 12 per package.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the tool unpowered and, where applicable, the drill press table locked. Secure the workpiece with a clamp or vise before drilling to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing chipping or heat discoloration.
