Import 27414 Jobber Drill Bit 5.00 Mm Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 27414 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for production and maintenance drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it provides adequate hardness and basic corrosion resistance for everyday shop use. The bit measures 5.00 mm in diameter (0.1969 inches decimal equivalent) with a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute. Overall length is 3-5/8 inches (92.00 mm), and the straight-cylindrical shank seats cleanly in standard drill chucks. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry force and helps center the bit on the workpiece.

This drill bit suits general-purpose applications in light manufacturing, maintenance, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trade drilling. The jobber-length format fits most handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling centers accepting straight-shank tooling. The 5.00 mm size falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 decimal inch range, making it a common choice for tapping pilots, clearance holes, and bracket fabrication where metric sizing is specified. Each unit is sold individually; minimum order quantity is 12 pieces.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic wear resistance
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and easier starting
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks and collets
• Jobber-length format at 3-5/8 inches OAL suits most handheld and bench drilling setups
• General-purpose grade appropriate for ferrous metals, plastics, and similar materials

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for any application requiring a 5.00 mm straight-shank jobber drill in HSS with a 118-degree point.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
