Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-223-I Hss Jobber Drill W Size

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-223-I is a W size high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit manufactured to import grade standards. Jobber drills are the most common drill bit geometry used in trade and industrial settings, offering a balanced flute length-to-diameter ratio suited for general-purpose drilling through metal, wood, plastic, and composite materials. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-piece cutting tool intended for use in standard drill chucks and drill presses. HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for production and maintenance drilling tasks across a wide range of substrates.

This drill bit is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general maintenance professionals who require a reliable jobber drill in a W letter size for everyday hole-making operations. W size corresponds to a specific fractional equivalent in the letter drill series and is commonly used when precise hole sizing is required for tapping, reaming, or clearance fitting in metal fabrication and mechanical assembly work.

Key Features

• W letter size designation for precise hole sizing in tapping and clearance applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic substrates
• Jobber-length flute geometry balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose drilling
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and reduced fatigue during repetitive use
• Import grade offering a cost-effective option for standard maintenance and production drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length letter drill bit compatible with 3-jaw drill chucks and drill presses accepting W size shanks in trade and industrial drilling applications.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and used by trade professionals including electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians as part of routine drilling operations. Always secure the bit fully in the chuck before operation and ensure the workpiece is properly clamped or fixtured. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling through ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
