Precision Twist Drill 018024 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018024 is a high-speed steel jobber length drill bit engineered for drilling into hard surfaces and dense materials. Part of the R18 series, this bit delivers the extended reach of a standard jobber length profile while maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate, clean hole starting. High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance and edge retention during demanding drilling operations. This bit is sold individually and is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment across fabrication, mechanical, and general trade applications.

The 018024 is appropriate for use in metalworking, mechanical repair, and general construction trades where a reliable jobber length HSS bit is required. Its size 24 designation makes it a go-to choice for tapping prep, pilot holes, and through-hole applications in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as hard plastics. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations will find this bit useful for sheet metal and structural drilling tasks.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention on hard surfaces
• Jobber length profile balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose drilling
• R18 series design optimized for hard surface penetration
• Size 24 wire gauge designation suits tapping prep and pilot hole applications
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling and bit-changer workflow

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use jobber length drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks found on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with proper drilling techniques and machine operation. Ensure the drill or press is powered down and the bit is securely seated in the chuck before beginning work. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Eye protection and appropriate PPE are required during all drilling operations.
