Value Collection C87759-6 Jobber Drill Bit 13/32 in 6pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87759-6 is a heavy-duty jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and composite materials. Built from M7 high speed steel with a black and gold oxide finish, this bit delivers extended tool life under repeated use. The 135-degree split point reduces walking on contact and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. Web thinning at the tip further reduces cutting resistance. The straight cylindrical shank measures 13/32 inch in diameter, compatible with standard three-jaw chucks. This bit is suited for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and other trade professionals working on light to heavy fabrication tasks.

This jobber drill bit is intended for right-hand rotation drilling applications where a standard-length bit with a regular spiral flute is required. The 13/32-inch diameter (0.4062 inch decimal equivalent) places it in the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch size range, making it a common choice for bolt clearance holes, conduit knockout preparation, and general metal fabrication. No coolant-through capability is present, so external cutting fluid or lubricant is recommended when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty drilling applications
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance at the tip
• Black and gold oxide proprietary finish improves lubricity and corrosion resistance
• Regular spiral flute with 3-7/8 inch flute length promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cutting direction, straight shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 13/32-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill press equipment used in metal fabrication, maintenance, and general trade applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the chuck before beginning any drilling operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering the drill. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Use appropriate feed pressure for the material being drilled — excessive force can cause premature tip wear or bit breakage. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety requirements when operating rotary cutting tools.
