Value Collection C87757-6 3/8 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit 6-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87757-6 is a high-speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for heavy-duty metal drilling applications. Built from M7 HSS and finished with a black and gold oxide coating, this 3/8-inch diameter bit handles demanding hole-making tasks in steel, iron, and similar ferrous materials. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust force required to start a cut. Web thinning further improves cutting efficiency. Each package contains six bits, making this a practical stock item for shops, service fleets, or job-site kits. Right-hand cutting with a regular spiral flute delivers reliable chip evacuation in most drilling conditions.

This drill bit is suited for use in production shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where 3/8-inch holes in metal are a routine task. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill-press attachments. The 5-inch overall length and 3-5/8-inch flute length are consistent with jobber-series proportions, giving adequate reach for most through-hole and blind-hole applications in sheet metal, plate, and structural stock. The six-piece packaging supports tool crib restocking and reduces downtime from bit wear on active jobs.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced tradesperson should select the appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the workpiece material before use. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck is tightened completely on the shank. Use a cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace bits that show signs of heat damage or dullness.
