Import KP65050 Jobber Drill Bit No. 9 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT KP65050 is a No. 9 wire size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel and finished with a black oxide coating. It carries a 118-degree standard point angle, a right-hand spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank sized at 0.1960 inches in diameter. Overall length is 3-5/8 inches with a flute length of 2-7/16 inches. The web is thinned and tapered, reducing entry resistance and improving chip evacuation on through-hole drilling tasks. This is a general-purpose bit suited for metal, wood, and plastic stock removal in production and maintenance settings.

The KP65050 fits standard drill chucks accepting a 0.1960-inch straight shank. It is used in handheld electric drills, drill presses, and benchtop machines across general manufacturing, fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations. The No. 9 wire gauge size falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch drill bit size range, making it a common selection when a close-tolerance hole is required before tapping or reaming. Each package contains one drill bit.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before operating. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Replace the bit at the first sign of point wear or chipping to maintain hole accuracy.
