Import 20836 Mechanics Drill Bit 0.1065 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The IMPORT 20836 is a mechanics-length high-speed steel drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and industrial materials. It measures 0.1065 inches in diameter with a 135-degree split point that self-centers on contact, reducing walking and the need for a center punch. The oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. At 2.5 inches overall length, this short mechanics-length geometry gives rigidity for precision work in confined spaces. It is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill presses or handheld power tools.

This drill bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel. Its mechanics length makes it a common choice for close-quarters drilling on equipment, panels, and structural steel where a jobber-length bit would flex or chatter. Right-hand cut geometry is compatible with conventional clockwise-rotation drill drivers and drill presses. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without special adapters.

Key Features

• 0.1065 inch diameter with 135-degree split point for self-centering starts
• High-speed steel construction handles steel, cast iron, stainless, and high-alloy materials
• Mechanics length at 2.5 inches overall reduces deflection in tight spaces
• Spiral flute with web-thinned, parallel web configuration improves chip evacuation
• Oxide coating reduces friction and provides basic surface protection
• Right-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement mechanics drill bit compatible with any standard drill press or handheld power tool chuck accepting straight-cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill or press powered off and the chuck fully secured. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before use and discard bits showing chipped or worn geometry to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
