Precision Twist Drill 018001 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018001 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit engineered for drilling into hard surfaces. Part of the R18 series, this bit delivers the length-to-diameter ratio standard to jobber drills, making it well-suited for general-purpose hole-making in metal, ferrous alloys, and other demanding materials. HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed to maintain a cutting edge through repeated use in production or service environments. Licensed tradespeople and shop technicians reach for this bit when precision and durability matter on the job.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in residential and commercial maintenance, fabrication, and mechanical service applications. It fits standard drill chucks and is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and millwrights for sheet metal work, structural drilling, and equipment installation tasks. The jobber-length profile offers a practical balance between reach and rigidity, reducing deflection during drilling operations.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability in hard-surface drilling
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach and bit rigidity
• R18 series design optimized for consistent performance in metalworking applications
• Sold as a single unit, allowing quantity flexibility for service and shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS jobber-length drill bit suitable for use in standard keyed and keyless drill chucks across a wide range of portable and stationary drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and confirm the chuck key is removed prior to starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear eye protection and follow applicable workshop safety standards when operating drilling equipment.
