Precision Twist Drill 010213 Hss Drill Bit 13/64 in R10B 12-pack

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 010213 is a 13/64-inch high speed steel (HSS) drill bit engineered for consistent performance in metal, wood, and general-purpose drilling applications. Built to the R10B style with a 135-degree split point geometry, it reduces walking on entry and requires less feed pressure compared to standard 118-degree points. The black oxide finish helps resist corrosion and retain surface lubricity during cutting. This bit is sold as a pack of 12, making it practical for shop stocking, service van inventory, or job-site supply where replacement frequency is high. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This drill bit is suited for use in portable drills, drill presses, and production setups across light manufacturing, mechanical contracting, and maintenance trades. The 13/64-inch diameter is a common size for pilot holes, clearance holes, and tapping prep work in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The 135-degree split point is particularly effective on harder steel stock where a conventional point tends to skate. The 12-piece pack format is sized for tool crib and field stocking programs.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure on entry
• High speed steel construction retains hardness at elevated cutting temperatures
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction at the cutting interface
• R10B style geometry for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood
• 13/64-inch diameter suits pilot, clearance, and tap-prep applications
• Sold in a 12-piece pack for efficient shop and field stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw keyed and keyless drill chucks accepting 13/64-inch round shanks, including portable drill drivers and bench-mounted drill presses.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation and bit breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling hardened steel to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect each bit for chipping or dullness before use, and replace worn bits rather than applying excess feed pressure. Follow applicable workplace safety standards for eye protection and guarding when operating drilling equipment.
