Import BDNA--22430-1 9/64 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The IMPORT BDNA--22430-1 is a jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide/gold coating that reduces friction and extends tool life during repeated use. The bit measures 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 2-7/8 inches and a flute length of 1-3/4 inches. The 118-degree split point initiates cutting quickly and reduces walking on entry. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration lowers thrust requirements and improves chip evacuation. This bit is suited for use by machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who require a standard jobber drill in common rotation.

This bit is appropriate for light to medium drilling tasks in residential and commercial trade applications. It fits standard drill chucks accepting a straight cylindrical shank at 9/64 inch diameter. The right-hand spiral flute pulls chips up and out of the hole during drilling. It is well suited for sheet metal, conduit work, structural steel, pipe hangers, and general fabrication tasks where a 9/64 inch hole is required. Sold individually, it is a direct bench or bag replacement for worn or broken bits of the same size.
