Osg 8597271 Jobber Drill Bit No. 36 0.1065 in Tin Hss

Product Description

The OSG 8597271 is a jobber-length twist drill bit in wire gauge size No. 36, with a decimal diameter of 0.1065 inches (2.71 mm). It is manufactured from vanadium high-speed steel and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating for extended wear resistance and reduced friction. The 130-degree split point (S-thinned) promotes self-centering and reduces walking on entry, making it well suited for precision drilling in production and maintenance environments. Overall length is approximately 2.56 inches (65 mm) with a flute length of approximately 1.30 inches (33 mm). This bit is sold individually and is intended for use by machinists, millwrights, and trade professionals working with metal fabrication or mechanical systems.

This drill bit is designed for drilling blind holes, through holes, and cross holes in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum silicate. Its straight-cylindrical shank with a 3.00 mm diameter fits standard drill chucks used in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling setups. The regular spiral flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in the material types listed above. It performs well in general-purpose production drilling as well as maintenance repair operations requiring close-tolerance hole sizing.

Compatibility

Designed for drilling steel, stainless steel, aluminum, aluminum alloy, and aluminum silicate workpieces. Suitable for blind hole, cross hole, and through-hole drilling operations. Compatible with any drill chuck accepting a 3.00 mm straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only after the drill or press spindle has come to a complete stop and power has been isolated. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid for stainless steel and harder steel alloys to maintain edge life. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
