Import 27405 Jobber Drill Bit 2.50mm 118 Deg Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27405 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier center-starting and reduced thrust on entry. An oxide coating provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. At 2.50 mm (0.0984 inches) in diameter with a 2-23/64 inch overall length, this bit fits standard keyless and keyed drill chucks used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators in light industrial and shop environments.

This jobber drill bit is suited for through-hole and blind-hole drilling in bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill stations operating at standard shop speeds. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in conventional three-jaw chucks. Its spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently in short to medium depth holes. General-purpose grade construction makes it a practical stock item for maintenance shops, HVAC service vans, and fabrication benches where small-diameter drilling tasks are frequent.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement jobber drill bit for use in any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 0.0984-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped or fixtured before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
