Import 27511 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire 11 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 27511 is a 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 added wear resistance, this bit cuts at a standard 118-degree point angle with a right-hand spiral flute. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. At 3.5 inches overall length with a 2-5/16-inch flute length, it fits standard three-jaw chucks on bench drills, drill presses, and handheld power tools. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians regularly use bits in this size range for conduit knock-outs, pilot holes, and general fabrication work.

This bit is sized at wire gauge 11, which equals 0.1910 inches in decimal, placing it within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks without slipping. The regular spiral flute geometry provides consistent chip removal in through-hole and blind-hole applications across a wide range of workpiece materials. It is well suited to residential and light commercial trade work, including HVAC bracket fabrication, electrical panel installations, and plumbing rough-in tasks where precise hole sizing in that diameter range is required.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly sized chuck and tighten securely before operation. Always ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured to prevent rotation during drilling. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable safety standards for drilling operations. Inspect the cutting edge before use and replace the bit if the point shows visible wear or chipping to maintain hole accuracy and reduce the risk of bit breakage.
