Import 27506 No. 6 Jobber Drill Bit 118 Deg Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27506 is a No. 6 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for increased surface hardness and lubricity, it features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation. The bit measures 3.75 inches overall with a 2.5-inch flute length and a straight-cylindrical shank with a 0.2040-inch diameter. It is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machines by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, and general maintenance technicians.

This jobber drill is intended for general-purpose production and maintenance drilling applications in light to medium materials. The regular spiral flute geometry and tapered web configuration with web thinning reduce thrust and improve centering on standard drilling equipment. With a decimal inch size of 0.2040 and a wire gauge designation of No. 6, this bit fits within the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch drill size range and is a common selection for clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-hole operations in trade and shop environments.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a compatible drill chuck and tightened securely before operation. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the material being drilled.
