L H Dottie Co HS26C High Speed Steel Drill Bit 13/32 in

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co HS26C is a high speed steel drill bit sized at 13/32 inches, designed for drilling through metal, wood, plastic, and similar materials encountered in trade work. High speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed to maintain a sharp cutting edge through repeated use. This bit is sold individually and is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and other trade professionals who need a reliable twist drill for field and shop applications.

The HS26C fits standard drill chucks and is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial installations where a 13/32-inch bore is required. Common applications include conduit knock-outs, pipe penetrations, bracket mounting, and general hardware work on job sites. Its 13/32-inch diameter bridges the gap between the more common 3/8-inch and 7/16-inch sizes, making it a useful addition to a trade drill index.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction resists heat buildup during extended drilling

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement and ensure clean hole entry. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling through ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Always wear eye protection when operating a drill. Follow applicable OSHA and site safety requirements for drilling operations.
