Import KP65046 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 5 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT KP65046 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 5, with a decimal diameter of 0.2055 inches. It is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added surface protection and reduced friction during drilling. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a web-thinned tapered web design that reduces entry resistance. Overall length is 3.75 inches with a flute length of 2.5 inches. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. This is a general-purpose bit suited for use by machinists, electricians, plumbers, and HVAC techs for everyday metal and material drilling tasks.

This bit is rated for general-purpose drilling applications across a range of materials. The wire gauge 5 size falls within the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch decimal range, making it useful for pilot holes, clearance holes, and precision bore work where fractional sizing does not meet tolerance requirements. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench drill press use and handheld drill driver applications in the field or shop.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight-cylindrical shank fully in the drill chuck before use and verify chuck key is removed prior to powering on the drill. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. For metal drilling, use a suitable cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of chipping or excessive wear.
