Import 20907 Mechanics Drill Bit 11/64 in Hss Split Point

Product Description

The IMPORT 20907 is a mechanics-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking and fabrication applications. Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it measures 11/64 inch (0.1719 inch decimal) in diameter with a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and improves centering on contact. The overall length is 2-7/8 inches, making it a compact mechanics-length tool suited for tight-clearance work. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification, and the right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during use. This bit is appropriate for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who need reliable short-length drilling capability.

This drill bit is rated for use on a range of ferrous workpiece materials including carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel. Its mechanics-length design is well-suited for confined spaces where standard jobber-length bits are too long, such as drilling within enclosures, panels, or framing cavities. The 1-13/16 inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for the intended material range without sacrificing rigidity. It is sold individually and is intended for professional trade use in shop or field settings.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and requires no center punch on most metals
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat generated during metal drilling
• Oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting
• Mechanics length (2-7/8 inches OAL) improves control and fits confined drilling locations
• Web-thinned parallel web design reduces thrust force required during drilling
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flutes for standard drill press and hand drill use

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose drilling in carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel workpieces. Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and similar equipment.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling stainless steel or high-alloy materials to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Apply steady, consistent feed pressure and reduce feed rate as the bit breaks through to avoid grabbing. Wear appropriate eye protection and gloves in accordance with applicable shop safety standards.
