Value Collection C87762 29/64 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C87762 is a 29/64 inch high-speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for metal drilling in demanding shop and field applications. Built to M7 HSS material grade, the bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and requires no center-punch on most surfaces. A black and gold oxide coating improves surface hardness and provides basic lubricity. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust requirements during penetration. The straight cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard three-jaw chucks. This is a heavy-duty grade bit suited for machinists, pipefitters, and general tradespeople who drill through steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials regularly.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for use in drill presses, magnetic base drills, and hand-held power drills used across fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field installation work. The 29/64 inch diameter is commonly used when drilling clearance holes for 7/16 inch fasteners or when reaming to a finished bore. The right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry handles a broad range of ferrous and non-ferrous base materials at standard cutting speeds.

Key Features

• M7 high-speed steel construction for durability in heavy-duty drilling applications
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust load during drilling
• Black and gold oxide proprietary coating improves surface hardness and lubricity
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit for use in any three-jaw chuck or collet system accepting a 29/64 inch straight shank across drill presses, magnetic drills, and portable power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with proper drill press or hand-drill operation. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the chuck is tightened fully before operation. Power down and disconnect the tool before changing bits. Appropriate cutting fluid or coolant is recommended when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life, though this bit does not support coolant-through operation.
