Import 22356 Jobber Drill Bit 7/64 Inch Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 22356 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for metal, wood, and plastic drilling applications. It is ground from high speed steel (HSS) and finished with a black oxide coating that reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during use. The drill point is a standard 118-degree split-point geometry with web thinning applied, which helps center the bit on contact and reduces the thrust required to start the hole. At 2-5/8 inches overall length with a 1-1/2 inch flute length, it fits standard three-jaw drill chucks found on bench drills, hand drills, and drill presses.

This bit is suited for light- to medium-duty hole-making tasks in maintenance, fabrication, and service work. The 7/64 inch diameter (0.1094 decimal inch) falls in the 0.1000 to 0.1500 decimal inch size range, making it a common size for pilot holes, clearance holes, and sheet metal work. It is sold individually (package quantity of one) with a minimum order quantity of 12 units, making it appropriate for stocking in shop kits or service vans. Installation by general tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and fabricators using standard drill equipment is typical.

Key Features

• 7/64 inch diameter with 0.1094 decimal inch equivalent for precise sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for self-centering entry
• High speed steel construction for durability across a range of workpiece materials
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type clears chips efficiently
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting straight-cylindrical shanks of 7/64 inch diameter, compatible with bench drills, hand drills, and drill presses commonly used in trade and fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in a calibrated drill chuck before use and verify the bit runs true with no visible wobble before applying load. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Apply consistent feed pressure appropriate to the workpiece material and use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show visible wear or if the bit produces excessive heat or squealing during operation.
