Precision Twist Drill 018016 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 16

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018016 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit sized at wire gauge No. 16. Engineered for cutting hard surfaces, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention that trade professionals expect from HSS tooling. The jobber-length body provides a standard flute-to-shank ratio suitable for a wide range of drilling operations, from light fabrication to maintenance and repair work. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians reach for this size when drilling through steel, cast iron, hard plastics, and similar materials. It ships as a single-piece pack with a minimum order quantity of one.

This drill bit fits typical applications in commercial and industrial settings where precise, clean-entry holes are needed in hard or dense materials. Wire gauge No. 16 corresponds to a small-diameter bore used in electrical conduit work, sheet metal fabrication, and mechanical assembly. It is compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic-base drills.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance and edge durability on hard surfaces
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose drilling
• Wire gauge No. 16 sizing for precision small-diameter applications
• Single-piece pack with no minimum quantity beyond one unit
• Compatible with standard three-jaw drill chuck systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber-length replacement drill bit for use in standard three-jaw chucks across benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic-base drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Insert the shank fully into the drill chuck and tighten all three jaws evenly before use. Power down and disconnect the drill or press before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
