Value Collection C87746 Jobber Drill 13/64 in Hss 3-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87746 is a 13/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit with a 135-degree split point and black/gold oxide coating. Manufactured from M7-grade HSS, it is rated as a heavy-duty bit suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. The split point geometry reduces walking at startup, allowing the bit to engage the workpiece without a center punch on most surfaces. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance and reduces heat buildup during use. This package contains 3 bits, making it practical for shop stock or tool kits where this size is used frequently.

This jobber drill is suited for light industrial, maintenance, and fabrication applications requiring a 13/64 inch through-hole. The right-hand spiral flute and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks on drill presses, handheld drills, and mill setups. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople for sheet metal and structural drilling tasks encountered in the field and in the shop.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit with a straight cylindrical shank, compatible with any 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a 13/64 inch shank on drill presses, portable drills, and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before use and verify the bit runs true before drilling. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before starting the cut. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid or coolant to extend bit life and reduce heat. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show visible wear or if the bit begins to walk or chatter during use.
