Import 27542 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 42 0.0935 in Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT 27542 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, the bit runs at standard cutting speeds and offers adequate corrosion resistance for shop and field use. It carries a wire gauge size of 42, which equals 0.0935 inches in decimal, and features a 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for easier penetration. A spiral flute with tapered web configuration clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. This size is commonly stocked by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and maintenance techs who need small-diameter pilot or clearance holes.

The 27542 suits light-duty drilling applications in maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments. At 0.0935 inches diameter, it is appropriate for tapping pilot holes, clearance holes for small fasteners, and precision layout work across a range of base materials. The straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks found on hand drills, drill presses, and milling machine spindles. Right-hand cut orientation is the standard for conventional drilling operations.

Key Features

• 118-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry force
• High speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling across common materials
• Oxide coating provides mild lubricity and corrosion resistance
• Spiral flute with tapered web promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 0.0935-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by machinists, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance technicians. Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection and ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped before drilling.
