Precision Twist Drill 018003 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018003 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit in size 3, built for drilling into hard surfaces where durability and cutting performance matter. Jobber-length drills offer a balanced combination of reach and rigidity, making them a reliable choice for general-purpose and heavy-duty drilling operations. HSS construction provides resistance to heat buildup during high-speed cutting, extending tool life across demanding applications. This bit is sold as a single unit and weighs 0.35 pounds. It suits machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with ferrous metals, hardened plastics, and similar materials.

The 018003 fits standard drilling applications across industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and field service work. Its jobber-length geometry makes it compatible with most drill presses, handheld power drills, and magnetic base drills using a standard chuck. The R18 series is designed for hard surface materials where a standard carbon steel bit would wear prematurely. This bit is appropriate for both light production work and one-off service calls.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for heat resistance during hard-surface drilling
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose use
• Size 3 designation for precise hole sizing in compatible applications
• Compatible with standard chuck systems on drill presses and handheld drills
• Sold individually — minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for use in any drill press, handheld power drill, or magnetic base drill equipped with a standard chuck that accepts the corresponding bit shank size.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified machinist or trained technician familiar with rotating tool safety. Ensure the drill press or power tool is fully powered down and the chuck is stationary before inserting or removing the bit. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck to prevent slipping during operation. Follow applicable workplace safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines when selecting speeds and feeds for HSS tooling.
