Import -22376-B Jobber Drill Bit 27/64 in Hss 118 Deg

Product Description

The IMPORT -22376-B is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is ground from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features a standard 118-degree split point with web thinning for faster penetration and reduced walking on entry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 27/64 inch in diameter, making it compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks. With an overall length of 5-3/8 inches and a flute length of 3-15/16 inches, this bit suits typical bench drill press and hand-drill applications in maintenance, fabrication, and light production environments.

This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades where a 27/64-inch hole is required. Common applications include clearance holes for fasteners, pilot holes ahead of tapping, and through-holes in sheet metal brackets or structural members. The right-hand spiral flute with regular helix provides reliable chip evacuation in most common workpiece materials. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 6 units per order.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across a wide range of workpiece materials
• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning and tapered web configuration for reduced thrust and improved centering
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup that can affect hole diameter tolerance
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Jobber-length format balances reach and rigidity for everyday drilling tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 27/64-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install and removal should be performed with the drill or drill press powered off and unplugged or locked out per OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
