Irwin IR60507 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 7/64 Inch 118 Degree

Product Description

The IRWIN IR60507 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The 7/64 inch diameter and standard 118-degree point angle make it well-suited for everyday hole-making tasks in light fabrication, maintenance, and service work. The straight shank seats directly in standard keyless or keyed drill chucks without adapters. At 2.625 inches overall length with a 1.5 inch flute, this jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity for accurate starts and clean through-holes. HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for drilling mild steel, aluminum, and common construction materials. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general tradespeople keep jobber bits like this on hand as a workhorse size.

This drill bit covers a broad range of trade applications where a 7/64 inch hole is required. Common uses include pilot holes for self-tapping screws, clearance holes for small fasteners, and light sheet metal work. The jobber length suits most handheld drill drivers and drill presses used in residential and light commercial service environments. It is sold individually, making it a practical replacement for a single worn or broken bit without purchasing a full set.

Key Features

• 7/64 inch drill diameter for small-fastener pilot and clearance holes
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose use across multiple materials
• High speed steel construction resists heat buildup during drilling
• Straight shank fits standard keyed and keyless drill chucks
• Jobber length at 2.625 inches overall with 1.5 inch flute for balance of reach and rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any keyed or keyless drill chuck that accepts a straight-shank bit of 7/64 inch diameter, including handheld drill drivers and bench drill presses.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck and verify there is no lateral runout before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling mild steel to extend bit life and reduce heat. Always wear eye protection when operating rotary cutting tools. Dispose of worn bits properly, as HSS bits cannot be safely resharpened without precision grinding equipment.
