Import 22367 Jobber Drill Bit 9/32 Inch 118 Degree Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 22367 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, maintenance, and trade work. It features a 9/32 inch (0.2812 inch decimal) diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and an oxide finish that provides light corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The overall length is 4-1/4 inches with a 2-15/16 inch flute length. The bit is web-thinned for easier penetration and reduced thrust, making it suitable for hand-feed drilling operations on steel and cast iron workpieces.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in residential and commercial maintenance, mechanical contracting, and light fabrication environments. It is a standard-length bit appropriate for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill press setups where moderate hole depth is required. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters. Primary workpiece materials include steel and cast iron, making it a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trade applications where metal drilling is routine.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit should be performed by a qualified tradesperson or machinist following standard safe drilling practices. Secure the workpiece before drilling and ensure the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Do not exceed the recommended feed rate or spindle speed for the workpiece material to avoid premature bit wear or breakage.
