Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-225-I Hss Jobber Drill Bit Y

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-225-I is a Letter Y high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Jobber-length drills offer a balanced combination of reach and rigidity, making them a go-to choice for production drilling and field work alike. The Letter Y designation corresponds to a specific imperial fractional size used when precision hole sizing is required, particularly for tapping and reaming operations. At 0.15 pounds, this is a lightweight, single-bit tool suited for trade professionals and machinists who need a reliable drill for everyday cutting tasks.

This drill bit is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment fabrication, sheet metal work, electrical conduit installation, and plumbing rough-in work. It is appropriate for use in standard drill presses, handheld power drills, and magnetic base drills where a jobber-length HSS bit is called for. The Letter Y size is commonly used when preparing holes for specific tap sizes in steel and other ferrous materials.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability and heat resistance during metal cutting
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose drilling
• Letter Y sizing supports precise hole diameter control for tapping and reaming applications
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and transport
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use drill bit compatible with any drill press or power drill accepting standard jobber-length HSS bits in Letter Y sizing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses or handheld power drills. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened before operation and that the workpiece is securely clamped. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace if chipping or dulling is present.
