Import KP65045 Jobber Drill Bit No. 4 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT KP65045 is a No. 4 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose metal drilling applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it delivers solid wear resistance in everyday production and maintenance drilling tasks. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, right-hand cutting direction, and a spiral flute configuration with a tapered web and web-thinning treatment for improved chip evacuation and point durability. Overall length is 3.75 inches with a flute length of 2.5 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.2090 inches in diameter and fits standard three-jaw drill chucks.

This bit is suited for drilling mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials in light industrial, mechanical, and maintenance settings. The jobber-length geometry balances rigidity and reach, making it a practical choice for bench drill presses, hand drills, and mill setups where a standard-length bit is appropriate. Trades commonly reaching for this size include millwrights, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance mechanics working in residential, commercial, or light industrial environments.

Key Features

• No. 4 wire size, 0.2090 inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinning for easier penetration and reduced walking
• High speed steel construction provides heat resistance during sustained drilling
• Oxide coating reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance
• Regular spiral flute with tapered web promotes consistent chip clearing
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 0.2090-inch straight-cylindrical shank, including bench drill presses, hand drills, and milling machine setups.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed or qualified mechanic or maintenance technician using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and manage heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace when point geometry is compromised.
