Import 22375 Jobber Drill Bit 13/32 Inches Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 22375 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit measures 13/32 inches (0.4062 inches decimal) in diameter and features a 118-degree standard point angle, which suits a wide range of common drilling applications. Constructed from high speed steel (HSS) with a black oxide finish, it offers moderate corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently, and the straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians typically reach for this bit on light to medium fabrication and service work.

This drill bit fits into general-purpose drilling workflows across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is suited for use in hand-held drills, drill presses, and benchtop machines wherever a 13/32-inch hole is required. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust load at the point, making it easier to start a hole cleanly without center-punching on softer materials. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople commonly use bits in this size range when drilling through sheet metal, electrical enclosures, or framing members during system installation.

Key Features

• 13/32-inch (0.4062 inches) diameter for precise, consistent hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose material compatibility
• High speed steel construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic
• Black oxide coating reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers thrust and improves point penetration
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, hand drill, or benchtop drilling machine equipped with a chuck capable of accepting a 13/32-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly tightened 3-jaw chuck before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Ensure workpieces are clamped or fixtured before drilling to prevent rotation. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is degraded.
