Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-218-I R Hss Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-218-I is an R-size high-speed steel (HSS) jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for consistent performance in production and field use. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-bit tool suited for hand drills, drill presses, and CNC applications where a standard jobber-length flute is appropriate. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals who require a reliable HSS bit in the R letter size.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for light to medium-duty drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The jobber-length design offers a balanced combination of reach and rigidity, making it a practical choice for general shop work, on-site fabrication, and maintenance tasks. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1, allowing single-unit purchasing for replacement or trial use.

Key Features

• R-size letter drill diameter for precise hole sizing where fractional sizes do not match the required tolerance
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability and resistance to heat buildup during drilling
• Jobber length provides standard flute depth suitable for most general drilling applications
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and tooling management
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for single-unit replacement purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard R-size HSS jobber drill bit compatible with 3-jaw drill chucks and keyed chucks found on hand drills, drill presses, and light CNC drilling equipment that accept letter-size drill shanks.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified machinist or trade professional familiar with drill press or power tool operation. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before beginning any drilling operation. Disconnect power to all equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable shop safety standards and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life.
