Import 27524 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 24 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 27524 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added lubricity and mild corrosion resistance, it features a standard 118-degree point angle suited for a wide range of production and maintenance drilling tasks. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 2-inch flute, it delivers the reach needed for most through-hole and blind-hole applications in sheet and plate stock. A tapered, web-thinned configuration reduces thrust force at entry.

Wire size 24 corresponds to a decimal diameter of 0.1520 inches, placing it in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch size range commonly used for tapping clearance holes, pilot holes, and close-tolerance drilling in fabrication, mechanical maintenance, and light machining environments. The right-hand spiral flute efficiently evacuates chips during drilling. This bit is sold individually and is well suited for benchtop drill presses, handheld power drills, and mill/drill setups where a standard jobber geometry is appropriate.

Key Features

• HSS construction rated for drilling steel and cast iron
• Oxide coating provides lubricity and mild corrosion protection
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces entry thrust and walking tendency
• Right-hand regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-stock jobber drill bit fitting any standard drill chuck sized for a 0.1520-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits should be performed with the power tool or machine fully powered down and the chuck key removed before inserting or removing the bit. Secure the shank fully into the chuck and tighten evenly using the chuck key at all three positions where applicable. When drilling ferrous materials such as steel or cast iron, use a cutting fluid or coolant where possible to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Wear appropriate eye protection in compliance with applicable shop safety standards.
