Import 27427 Jobber Length Drill Bit 9.5 Mm Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27427 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling in trade and shop environments. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that provides light corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The bit measures 9.5 mm (0.374 inches) in diameter, with an overall length of 5 inches and a flute length of 3-5/8 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle is the industry-standard geometry suited for drilling into a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Licensed tradespeople, machinists, and service technicians working with sheet metal, conduit, pipe, and structural stock will find this a reliable everyday cutting tool.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical service work. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks on corded and cordless drills as well as drill press spindles. The right-hand spiral flute geometry clears chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole drilling. It is appropriate for use in both bench and field service scenarios where a reliable metric-sized jobber bit is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with rotating cutting tools and safe drilling practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened on the shank before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through harder metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Wear eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating drilling equipment.
