Import -22359-B 5/32 in Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The IMPORT -22359-B is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit measures 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. Overall length is 3-1/8 inches with a 2-inch flute length. The bright, uncoated high speed steel construction provides adequate hardness for everyday drilling tasks. This bit ships individually and is suited for use with standard drill presses, hand drills, and portable electric drills on the shop floor or in the field.

This drill bit is a general-purpose option for trade and light industrial applications where a 5/32-inch diameter hole is required. Typical uses include pilot holes for sheet metal fasteners, conduit knockout prep, and light fabrication work. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without modification. Web-thinned geometry reduces thrust force at the cutting tip, which is useful when drilling harder stock or when working with a lower-torque cordless drill.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch) diameter with matching straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across common materials
• Regular spiral flute with 2-inch flute length promotes consistent chip removal
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance and drill walking
• High speed steel construction with bright uncoated finish suitable for low-to-moderate speed applications
• Right-hand cutting direction for use with standard clockwise-rotating drill equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 5/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank, including bench drill presses, hand drills, and cordless drivers used in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light fabrication work.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify chuck key is removed before operating the drill. Use appropriate cutting speed for the material being drilled -- slower speeds are recommended for harder metals to prevent premature bit wear. Always wear eye protection when drilling. No coolant-through capability is present on this bit; apply cutting fluid manually when drilling harder ferrous stock.
