Value Collection C87749-12 1/4 in Hss Jobber Drill 12 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87749-12 is a 1/4 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built to M7 HSS material grade, this bit features a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces walking without a center punch. A black and gold oxide coating provides lubricity and mild corrosion resistance. The straight cylindrical shank is sized at 1/4 inch for compatibility with standard drill chucks. This listing covers a pack of 12 bits, making it suitable for shop stock, field kits, or contractor supply. Installation is handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople.

This jobber drill bit is used across a wide range of applications including metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, plumbing rough-in, and electrical conduit work. The 4 inch overall length and 2-3/4 inch flute length are consistent with standard jobber proportions, allowing use in benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and right-angle drill attachments. The heavy duty grade designation and web-thinned, tapered web configuration make this bit well suited for production drilling where frequent bit changes are expected. Sold as a 12-count pack to support high-volume or multi-technician jobsite use.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the drill chuck before use and verify the chuck key is removed prior to operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Allow chips to clear the flute periodically when drilling deep holes to prevent binding. Wear appropriate eye protection per ANSI and applicable jobsite safety requirements.
