Import 20805 Mechanics Drill Bit 0.2055 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The IMPORT 20805 is a mechanics-length high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and ferrous materials. It measures 0.2055 inches in diameter with a 135-degree split point geometry that reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements compared to a standard 118-degree point. The straight-cylindrical shank fits conventional drill chucks without modification. An oxide finish provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and light service. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in production and maintenance environments.

This bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The mechanics length — shorter overall length than a jobber bit — gives better rigidity and control in tight spaces, making it a practical choice for equipment repair, fabrication, and maintenance work. It is commonly used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on metal components in industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walk and cutting thrust on hard metals
• High-speed steel construction handles intermittent cutting in ferrous alloys and stainless steel
• Mechanics length provides added rigidity over standard jobber-length bits
• Oxide coating offers basic corrosion protection during storage and use
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard drilling operations
• Web-thinned, parallel web configuration improves cutting efficiency at the tip

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement mechanics drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks across corded and cordless drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should select the appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the workpiece material before use. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dullness is observed.
