Eagle Cutting Tool LHJ100-026-I Left-hand Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL LHJ100-026-I is a 13/32-inch left-hand high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for reverse-rotation drilling applications. Left-hand drill bits rotate counterclockwise, making them the standard choice for extracting broken bolts, damaged fasteners, and frozen studs — the bit often backs the fastener out before a hole is fully drilled. Manufactured to jobber-length proportions, this bit offers a balanced combination of reach and rigidity suitable for bench drill presses and handheld power tools. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and automotive service professionals commonly reach for this type of bit when standard right-hand bits are not appropriate for the task.

This bit is suited for use in metalworking applications including automotive repair, machine shop maintenance, and general fabrication. It performs in ferrous and non-ferrous metals where a 13/32-inch diameter hole is required and where left-hand rotation is either mechanically necessary or preferred. The HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for intermittent drilling in steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials at typical shop-tool speeds.

Key Features

• Left-hand (counterclockwise) cutting direction for reverse-rotation drilling and fastener extraction
• 13/32-inch diameter for precise sizing in metalworking and repair applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for heat resistance and durability in metal drilling
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity for versatile use in drill presses and handheld tools
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit — available as a single bit

Compatibility

Designed as a jobber-length left-hand drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and drill presses that accept 13/32-inch round shanks. Suitable for use with any power drill or drill press capable of reverse-rotation operation.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, automotive technicians, and maintenance professionals familiar with metalworking practices. Ensure the drill or drill press is set to reverse (counterclockwise) rotation before use, as the left-hand geometry requires reverse rotation to cut effectively. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow standard shop safety practices when operating cutting tools.
