Import BDNA--22435-1 Jobber Drill Bit 7/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT BDNA--22435-1 is a 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch decimal) jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel with a titanium nitride (TiN) gold coating. It features a 118-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced walking on startup. The right-hand spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently during drilling operations. Web thinning reduces feed force and improves cutting performance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and electricians working in fabrication or field service environments.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and mill spindles where a straight-cylindrical shank is accepted. It fits within the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch decimal size range and is part of Series 314. The TiN coating extends cutting life compared to uncoated HSS bits and performs well in mild steel, aluminum, copper, PVC, and similar materials commonly encountered in mechanical and trade installations.

Key Features

• 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) diameter with straight-cylindrical shank of matching diameter
• 118-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust force
• TiN (titanium nitride) coating for extended tool life and reduced friction
• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned and tapered web configuration for improved feed performance
• High speed steel construction suitable for general-purpose drilling applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any drill press, hand drill, or power tool accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 7/32 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance trades, or licensed contractors as part of fabrication or service work. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Always wear eye protection and ensure the workpiece is properly clamped before operation.
