Precision Twist Drill 018028 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit 28

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018028 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit in size 28. Built for drilling into hard surfaces, this bit delivers the rigidity and cutting performance that trade professionals rely on in metalworking, fabrication, and general maintenance applications. Jobber-length geometry provides a balanced combination of flute length and overall reach, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of through-hole drilling tasks. At 0.05 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in both bench drill press and handheld power tool setups.

This drill bit is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, HVAC equipment manufacturing, electrical panel assembly, and general mechanical trade applications where drilling into steel, iron, or other hard materials is required. The size 28 designation makes it a practical choice when precise, smaller-diameter hole sizing is needed for tapping, fastener clearance, or instrumentation work. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, HVAC technicians, and electricians performing drilling operations. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling through ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating any rotary cutting tool.
