Import 27403 Jobber Length Drill Bit 1.5mm Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27403 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. It measures 1.5 mm in diameter (0.0591 inches) with an overall length of 1-57/64 inches and a flute length of 55/64 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle is the industry-standard geometry for versatile material entry. A tapered web with web-thinning reduces thrust force and improves chip clearance. This bit is sold individually and is suited for bench-top drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where small-diameter precision is needed.

This drill bit is intended for use in light-duty metal fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel and enclosure drilling, and general maintenance applications. The 1.5 mm diameter makes it appropriate for pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and detail work requiring tight dimensional control. It is a right-hand cut bit with a regular spiral and straight-cylindrical shank, compatible with standard drill chucks found on portable drills and stationary equipment.

Key Features

• 1.5 mm (0.0591 inches) diameter with straight-cylindrical shank of equal diameter for secure chuck grip
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry across multiple materials
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction and light corrosion resistance
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip evacuation
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for consistent chip clearance
• Overall length of 1-57/64 inches suits standard jobber-length applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit suitable for use in any standard drill chuck that accepts a 0.0591-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed technician or qualified tradesperson using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the bit runs true before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Wear eye protection and follow applicable OSHA and shop safety requirements when operating drilling equipment.
