Import -22366-B Jobber Drill Bit 17/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT -22366-B is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for drilling operations in metal, wood, plastic, and similar materials. It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. At 4-1/8 inches overall length with a 2-7/8 inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is handled by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable jobber drill for everyday hole-making tasks.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose use in job-site, shop, and maintenance environments. The straight-cylindrical shank at 17/64 inch diameter fits most standard 3-jaw drill chucks. Right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips effectively during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements at the point, making it easier to start a clean hole without a center punch in many applications.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• 118-degree standard point angle for broad material compatibility
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole diameter tolerances
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces required drilling thrust
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a 17/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated drill press, hand drill, or drill driver with the chuck tightened securely before operation. Secure the workpiece with appropriate clamping before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible wear or chipping.
