Import BDNA--22434-1 Jobber Drill Bit 13/64 in Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT BDNA--22434-1 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It is manufactured from high speed steel with a gold oxide coating that reduces friction and provides moderate heat resistance during extended use. The bit measures 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 3-5/8 inches and a flute length of 2-7/16 inches. The 118-degree split point reduces walking on entry and allows drilling to start without a center punch on most surfaces. This bit is suited for machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and maintenance trades that need reliable jobber-length tooling for everyday drilling tasks.

The BDNA--22434-1 is intended for general-purpose shop and field use where a standard jobber-length bit is required. Its straight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks on corded and cordless drills as well as drill presses. The right-hand spiral flute and regular spiral type make it appropriate for conventional drilling operations in mild steel, aluminum, copper, PVC, and similar materials commonly encountered in trade work.

Key Features

• 13/64 inch (0.2031 inch) diameter with web-thinned, split point for reduced entry force and minimal walking
• High speed steel construction with gold oxide finish for reduced friction and improved heat resistance
• 3-5/8 inch overall length with 2-7/16 inch flute length — standard jobber proportions for versatile reach
• Right-hand cut, regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks
• Tapered web configuration for added strength at the cutting tip

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 13/64 inch straight-cylindrical shank, including portable drills and bench-mounted drill presses.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and tighten all jaws evenly before use. Apply consistent feed pressure appropriate to the workpiece material — excessive force can overheat the cutting edge and reduce bit life. For metal drilling, use a cutting fluid or oil to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged.
