Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-217-I Q Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-217-I is a Q-size high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Jobber-length drills offer a balanced reach-to-rigidity ratio that suits most standard drilling applications. The Q designation indicates the fractional-equivalent wire gauge size, providing precise hole sizing for trade professionals. At 0.15 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during repetitive drilling tasks. This bit is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable, standard-length drill for everyday job-site work.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for light-gauge metal, conduit knockout work, wood framing, and plastic enclosures. It fits standard three-jaw keyless and keyed drill chucks common to corded and cordless drill drivers used across the trades. The Q wire gauge size is a common specification in electrical and plumbing roughing work where precise hole diameter is required for conduit, fasteners, or anchor points.

Key Features

• Q-size designation for precise hole diameter control
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common materials

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length HSS drill bit suitable for use with conventional three-jaw keyed and keyless drill chucks across corded and cordless drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck is fully tightened to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the material being drilled to maximize bit life and hole quality. Eye protection and appropriate work-holding methods should be used at all times per standard job-site safety practice. Replace the bit if the cutting edge shows signs of wear, heat discoloration, or chipping.
