Irwin IR60506 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 3/32 Inch 118 Degree

Product Description

The IRWIN IR60506 is a high speed steel jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Built to jobber length standards, it offers the reach and rigidity needed for production and maintenance drilling across a wide range of trade applications. The 3/32 inch diameter and 118-degree standard point angle allow for reliable starting and consistent hole quality without a pilot point or center punch on most materials. HSS construction provides heat resistance and edge retention through repeated use. This bit is well suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need a dependable small-diameter bit on the job.

This drill bit is appropriate for light-duty drilling tasks encountered in residential and commercial trade work. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes for fasteners, conduit anchors, sheet metal penetrations, and mounting hardware. The straight shank is compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on corded and cordless drills. Its compact jobber length makes it manageable in confined spaces common to mechanical and electrical rough-in work.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for heat resistance and extended edge life
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling across multiple materials
• Jobber length proportions balance reach with rigidity
• Straight shank fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks without adapters
• 3/32 inch diameter suited for pilot holes, small fastener clearance, and precision penetrations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight shank in the 3/32 inch size range.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in the drill chuck before use and verify chuck key is removed prior to operation. Use appropriate cutting speed for the material being drilled — lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for wood and plastic. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show visible wear or the flutes become clogged and cannot be cleared.
