Import 27533 No. 33 Jobber Drill Bit 118 Deg Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27533 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit sized at No. 33 (0.1130 inches decimal equivalent) designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. It is manufactured from high-speed steel with an oxide coating that provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance during cutting operations. Overall length is 2-5/8 inches with a 1-1/2 inch flute length. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust requirements at the point for cleaner entry. Machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and plumbers routinely use this size for pilot holes, clearance holes, and light production drilling.

This bit is suited for bench drill press, hand drill, and cordless drill applications in residential and light commercial maintenance environments. The No. 33 wire size is commonly used for tapping clearance holes and pilot drilling in thin-gauge sheet metal and light structural stock. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters. The regular spiral and right-hand cut make this a general-purpose choice for everyday trade work where a dedicated cobalt or carbide bit is not required.

Installation Notes

Install and remove this bit only when the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully secured. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection during all drilling operations. Discard bits that show visible chipping, bluing from overheating, or significant wear at the cutting edges, as compromised geometry increases the risk of bit walking or breakage.
