Import 27514 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 14 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 27514 is a wire gauge size 14 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. The bit measures 0.182 inches in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and an oxide finish that provides basic lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. Overall length is 3.375 inches with a flute length of 2.1875 inches. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks. Right-hand spiral flutes with a regular spiral type and tapered web configuration evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations.

This jobber drill is suited for light-to-medium drilling tasks in ferrous metals including mild steel and cast iron. It is appropriate for use in hand-held drills, drill presses, and machine tool setups in trade and industrial shop environments. The general-purpose grade makes it a practical choice for maintenance technicians, fabricators, and mechanical trades workers who need a reliable wire-gauge drill bit for production or repair work. Sold individually; minimum order quantity is 12 units.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill or drill press powered off and the chuck fully secured. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit breakage. Dispose of worn bits properly — dull high speed steel bits should not be forced through material as they are prone to sudden breakage.
