Import 27545 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 45 0.0820 in Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27545 is a wire gauge size 45 jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) and finished with an oxide coating. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute, making it a general-purpose cutting tool suited for drilling steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials. At 0.0820 inches in diameter and 2.125 inches overall length, this bit fits standard straight-shank drill chucks. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust at entry and helps center the bit on the workpiece without a pilot hole in most light-duty applications.

This drill bit is intended for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a wire gauge 45 hole diameter is required. Typical applications include pilot holes for tapping, clearance holes for small fasteners, and precision drilling in steel and cast iron components. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance during storage and contributes to surface lubricity during cutting. This product is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by qualified machinists or trades personnel in standard keyed or keyless drill chucks. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck tightness. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show signs of dulling, chipping, or discoloration from overheating.
