Import 27522 Jobber Length Drill Bit Wire 22 Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27522 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that provides moderate lubricity and corrosion resistance during use. The bit is wire gauge size 22, corresponding to a decimal diameter of 0.1570 inches, and features a standard 118-degree drill point angle suited to a wide range of common materials. With a straight-cylindrical shank and right-hand spiral flute, it is compatible with standard three-jaw chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and mill setups.

This drill bit is used in light-duty through-hole and pilot-hole applications across trade work and general fabrication. It fits standard drilling operations in HVAC sheet metal, electrical panel work, plumbing rough-in, and general metalworking where a wire-gauge diameter is specified. The 2-inch flute length and 3-1/8-inch overall length make it suitable for typical material thicknesses encountered in those applications. It is sold as a single unit per package with a minimum order quantity of 12 pieces.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before powering on the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Wear eye protection in accordance with applicable shop safety standards. Inspect the cutting edges and web condition before each use and replace the bit if the point shows visible wear or chipping.
