Import -22361-B Jobber Drill Bit 3/16 in Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The IMPORT -22361-B is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, plastic, and similar materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree point angle suited for a wide range of common drilling applications. At 3.5 inches overall length with a 2.3125-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and benchtop or handheld power drills. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 3/16 inch in diameter, matching the 3/16-inch cutting diameter. Web-thinned construction reduces thrust force at the tip, making entry cleaner on harder substrates.

This bit is intended for general-purpose use across trade and light industrial settings. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes in sheet metal, conduit work, structural framing members, and general fabrication tasks. The right-hand spiral flute clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. It is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 12 units per order, making it well suited for shop replenishment or gang-drilling setups where multiple bits are consumed regularly.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• 118-degree standard point angle for versatile entry on metal, wood, and plastic
• Web-thinned, tapered web design reduces drilling thrust and improves bit life
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a 3/16-inch straight-cylindrical shank, including handheld power drills and benchtop drill presses.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general trade workers performing drilling operations in the field or shop. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in a 3-jaw chuck before use and verify chuck tightness prior to operation. Use appropriate cutting speed for the workpiece material — slower speeds are recommended for harder metals. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
