Import 27546 Jobber Drill Bit Wire Size 46 Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT 27546 is a wire gauge size 46 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, plastic, and similar materials. It measures 0.0810 inches in diameter with an overall length of 2.125 inches and a flute length of 1.125 inches. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating to reduce friction and extend service life. The 118-degree standard point angle suits a wide range of common drilling applications. Right-hand spiral flutes with a regular helix and tapered web configuration provide efficient chip evacuation and consistent hole quality.

This drill bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment where a straight-cylindrical shank and wire-gauge sizing are required. Its general-purpose grade makes it a practical everyday option for machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC or plumbing trades needing to drill pilot or clearance holes in light-gauge materials. The web-thinned point reduces entry resistance, making it effective for work in thin stock or sheet material.

Key Features

• Wire size 46 (0.0810 inches) straight-cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for reduced friction and extended bit life
• Right-hand spiral flutes with regular helix for efficient chip clearance
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces drilling resistance on entry
• No coolant-through design — suitable for dry or externally lubricated drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit fitting any standard drill chuck or collet that accepts a 0.0810-inch straight-cylindrical shank, within the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch wire-gauge drill bit size range.

Installation Notes

Install and tighten the shank securely in a keyed or keyless chuck before operating. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured before drilling to prevent rotation or slipping. Use appropriate cutting fluid on harder metals to preserve cutting edge life. This bit is intended for use by qualified tradespeople following applicable workshop safety practices.
