Century Drill Tool 11429 No. 29 Hss Wire Gauge Drill Bit

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL 11429 is a Number 29 wire gauge drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a brite finish. It is designed for general purpose drilling in wood, metal, and plastic, making it a versatile option for fabrication shops, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need a reliable fractional-equivalent wire gauge bit. The precision-ground point promotes accurate starting and consistent hole geometry across a range of workpiece materials. At 0.02 pounds, the bit is lightweight and suited for use in both stationary drill presses and portable handheld tools.

Wire gauge drill bits in the Number 29 size are commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades for tasks such as pilot holes, sheet metal penetrations, and bracket fabrication. This bit fits standard three-jaw chucks found on benchtop drill presses, cordless drills, and right-angle drill attachments. Its brite finish is appropriate for general shop and field use where coated bits are not required.

Key Features

• Premium grade high speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic
• Precision-ground point for accurate hole starting and clean entry
• Brite finish suitable for general purpose applications
• Compatible with stationary drill presses and portable drill tools
• Wire gauge Number 29 sizing for fractional-equivalent applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general purpose wire gauge drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw chuck drill presses and portable drills that accept wire gauge tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling through ferrous metals to extend bit life. Wear eye protection per OSHA general industry standards when operating drilling equipment. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the workpiece to avoid grabbing or bit damage.
