Value Collection C87750-1 Jobber Drill Bit 17/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87750-1 is a 17/64-inch high speed steel jobber drill bit built for heavy-duty drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and allows drilling without a center punch in most applications. The M7 HSS construction provides good wear resistance and toughness under sustained use. A black oxide and gold finish helps reduce friction and offers mild corrosion resistance. With a 4-1/8-inch overall length and right-hand spiral flute, this bit suits standard drill presses and hand drills used in fabrication, maintenance, and general trade work.

This jobber drill bit is suited for residential and commercial applications where a 17/64-inch hole diameter is required. Typical uses include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, clearance holes for bolts, and general metalwork. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw chucks. It is commonly used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance trades for everyday drilling tasks on the job site or in the shop.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill unplugged or the tool in a locked-off state. Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace bits that show visible damage.
