Value Collection C87749 Jobber Drill 1/4 in Hss 3-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87749 is a 1/4 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. Built from M7 HSS with a black and gold oxide finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and lowers thrust required at entry. Web thinning further improves cutting performance on harder materials. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks without modification. This listing includes a pack of 3 bits, making it a practical choice for shops and field techs who go through tooling regularly.

This jobber drill is suited for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals in fabrication, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work. The 4 inch overall length and 2-3/4 inch flute length cover the typical depth range needed for sheet metal, structural steel, pipe flanges, and electrical enclosures. Right-hand spiral flutes clear chips effectively during through-hole drilling. The heavy-duty grade designation makes it appropriate for production environments as well as service calls where reliable, repeatable hole quality matters.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers entry thrust on hard materials
• M7 high speed steel construction for durability in ferrous and non-ferrous metals

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or replenishment jobber drill for any standard 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a 1/4 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tradespeople, or field technicians using a standard corded or cordless drill or drill press. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Replace the bit at the first sign of excessive heat, chatter, or degraded cutting performance to avoid workpiece damage.
