Century Drill Tool 11430 No 30 Wire Gauge Drill Bit 3 Pack

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 11430 is a No. 30 straight-shank wire gauge drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in wood, metal, and plastic. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a precision-ground 118-degree point angle, this bit delivers consistent entry and extended service life under repeated use. The straight shank seats securely in standard chuck sizes found on both stationary and portable power tools. Each package contains 3 bits, making it a practical addition to any trade kit where small-diameter precision drilling is routine.

Wire gauge drill bits in the No. 30 size are commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet-metal workers when precise small-diameter holes are required for fasteners, pilot holes, or conduit fittings. The 118-degree point geometry suits a wide range of materials encountered on the job site. Use of a cutting lubricant is recommended when drilling metal to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life.

Key Features

• No. 30 wire gauge size for precision small-diameter drilling
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across wood, metal, and plastic
• Precision-ground 118-degree point for clean entry and longer bit life
• Straight shank compatible with stationary and portable drill chucks
• Sold in a 3-pack for job-site convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental wire gauge drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks on portable hand drills and stationary drill presses.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the tool. When drilling metal, apply a cutting lubricant to reduce heat and prevent premature dulling of the HSS tip. Reduce feed pressure as the bit exits the material to prevent grab or breakout. Replace any bit showing visible tip wear, chipping, or discoloration from overheating.
