Import KP65063 Jobber Drill Bit No. 22 Hss Oxide

Product Description

The IMPORT KP65063 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 22, with a decimal equivalent of 0.1570 inches. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, it is built for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a regular spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. Overall length is 3-1/8 inches with a flute length of 2 inches. This bit is sold individually and suits production shops, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable, consistent hole quality in light to medium drilling applications.

This drill bit is suited for hand-held electric drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling fixtures where a straight-cylindrical shank is compatible. It is appropriate for general fabrication, sheet metal work, and field maintenance tasks. The No. 22 wire size falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal range, making it a common selection for tapping pilot holes and close-tolerance through-holes in light-gauge material. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill operation.
