Import BDNA--22427-1 3/32 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The IMPORT BDNA--22427-1 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a gold oxide coating that reduces friction and helps extend cutting life. The bit measures 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree split point that self-centers on contact and reduces walking on smooth surfaces. Overall length is 2-1/4 inches with a 1-1/4 inch flute length. Right-hand spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during drilling. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and HVAC technicians commonly use bits in this size range for pilot holes and sheet metal work.

This bit fits standard 3/32 inch straight-cylindrical shank chucks and is suitable for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and benchtop machining setups. The Series 314 designation places it in a general-purpose jobber-length line appropriate for light to medium drilling tasks. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust required at the cutting tip, which is useful when drilling harder stock or thin-gauge metal in the field.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction with gold oxide coating for reduced friction and extended bit life
• 118-degree split point for self-centering and reduced walking on entry
• Right-hand spiral flute with regular helix for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust on harder materials
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard 3/32 inch chuck collets and keyless chucks
• General-purpose grade suitable for metal, wood, and plastic substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck or drill press capable of accepting a 3/32 inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a qualified machinist or tradesperson using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the workpiece before drilling and verify chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened or stainless steel stock to prevent premature bit wear. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or the flutes are packed with material.
