Precision Twist Drill 018009 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018009 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber length drill bit in size 9 wire gauge, built for drilling into hard surfaces across a wide range of metalworking and fabrication applications. Part of the R18 series, this bit is ground to jobber length proportions, offering the balance of rigidity and reach that trade professionals expect for general-purpose and precision drilling work. At 0.25 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool suited for use in handheld drills and drill presses alike.

This drill bit is well suited to HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades for sheet metal penetrations, bracket mounting, and conduit or pipe work where consistent hole size and clean entry are required. It is equally at home in light fabrication shops and field service environments. The size 9 wire gauge designation makes it appropriate for tapping operations and close-tolerance drilling where standard fractional sizes do not apply.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability on hard surfaces
• Jobber length design balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose use
• Size 9 wire gauge for close-tolerance and tapping applications

• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS jobber length drill bit compatible with standard handheld electric drills and drill presses accepting round-shank bits.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a properly sized chuck and confirm it is fully seated and tightened before use. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. Match drill speed to material hardness — harder materials require lower RPM and adequate lubrication to extend bit life. Discard or resharpen bits that show signs of dulling, chipping, or visible heat discoloration.
