Import 20835 Mechanics Drill Bit 0.11 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The IMPORT 20835 is a mechanics-length high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in ferrous metals and alloy steels. The split point geometry with web thinning reduces walking at startup, eliminating the need for a center punch on most applications. At 0.11 inches in diameter with a 135-degree point angle, this bit suits precision hole work in tight tolerances. The oxide finish provides a baseline level of surface protection. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. This bit is a standard shop consumable stocked by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators.

This bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloys, and stainless steel. The mechanics length format — shorter overall length than a jobber bit — provides added rigidity and reduced deflection when drilling harder materials or working in confined areas. Typical applications include maintenance and repair operations, light fabrication, and production drilling where a compact, controllable bit profile is needed. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 3 units.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point with web thinning for self-centering starts and reduced thrust
• High-speed steel construction rated for carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel, and high alloy materials
• Mechanics length overall length for improved rigidity versus standard jobber bits
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard drilling operations
• Oxide coating finish for basic surface protection
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose mechanics-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or machining center equipped with a 3-jaw chuck sized to accept a straight-cylindrical shank at 0.11 inches diameter.

Installation Notes

Drill bits of this type are installed by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and metal fabricators. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck and verify the bit is centered before applying feed pressure. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high alloy materials to extend bit life and control heat buildup.
