Eagle Cutting Tool J102-226-D Z Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL J102-226-D is a Z-size high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit manufactured in the USA. Jobber drills are the standard general-purpose drill format, offering a flute length suited to most through-hole and blind-hole drilling tasks across a wide range of materials. The Z letter-size designation corresponds to a specific diameter in the letter-drill series, providing a precision hole size that falls outside the standard fractional and number-drill ranges. At 0.15 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece cutting tool intended for use in drill presses, lathes, hand drills, and CNC equipment. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication shops, mechanical rooms, and field service environments. Letter-size drills are commonly used when tapping holes to a specific thread size, reaming preparation, or achieving close-tolerance fits. The Z size is frequently selected for tap-drill and close-tolerance hole work in steel, aluminum, brass, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. USA manufacture indicates domestic quality standards for HSS geometry and heat treatment.

Key Features

• Z letter-size designation for close-tolerance and tap-drill applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Jobber-length flute for versatile general-purpose drilling depth
• USA manufactured to domestic HSS grinding and heat-treat standards
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and tool-crib storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Z-size jobber drill compatible with any 3-jaw or keyed chuck accepting the corresponding shank diameter, including drill presses, lathes, hand drills, and CNC spindles configured for straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or trade professionals using standard drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or cast iron to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if the tip geometry is compromised.
