Value Collection C87759 Jobber Drill Bit 13/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87759 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and industrial applications. It measures 13/32 inch (0.4062 inch decimal) in diameter with a 5-1/4 inch overall length and a 3-7/8 inch flute length. The 135-degree split point reduces walking at startup and allows drilling without a center punch on most surfaces. The bit carries a black and gold oxide finish and is manufactured to an M7 HSS material grade, which provides improved wear resistance and toughness compared to standard M2 tooling. Machinists, pipefitters, and sheet metal mechanics will find it suitable for repetitive hole-making tasks in ferrous and non-ferrous stock.

This drill bit fits standard drill chucks and magnetic drill press setups that accept a straight cylindrical shank. Its 13/32 inch diameter falls within the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch size range, making it a common choice when drilling bolt clearance holes, conduit knockouts, and structural steel. The heavy-duty grade construction makes it appropriate for sustained production drilling in fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service work where bit longevity matters.

Key Features

• M7 high speed steel construction for improved toughness and extended tool life over standard M2 HSS
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates walking without a center punch
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance on entry
• Black and gold oxide coating provides surface protection and helps with chip evacuation identification
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal in through-hole drilling
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without an adapter

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any drill press, handheld drill, or magnetic drill unit equipped with a chuck sized to accept a 13/32 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling through hardened or stainless steel stock to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Power down and lock out the drill press or rotary tool before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
