Import BDNA-KP65036 Jobber Drill Bit 15/32 in Hss

Product Description

The IMPORT BDNA-KP65036 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It measures 15/32 inch (0.4688 inch decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added surface hardness and corrosion resistance. Overall length is 5-3/4 inches with a flute length of 4-5/16 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank is compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks. This bit is suitable for trade professionals, machinists, and maintenance technicians working across a range of drilling applications.

This drill bit is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a mid-range fractional drill size is required. Common uses include drilling clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood, and composite materials. The right-hand cut and regular spiral flute configuration suit standard drill press and handheld drill operation. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust required at the cutting point, making it practical for use in lower-torque portable drills as well as bench-mounted drill presses.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills and bench-mounted drill presses accepting straight-cylindrical shank tooling in the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch decimal size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drill presses or handheld power drills. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection in accordance with applicable jobsite safety requirements.
