Precision Twist Drill 018035 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018035 is a high-speed steel jobber length drill bit from the R18 series, engineered for drilling into hard surfaces. Jobber length drills offer a versatile reach suitable for the majority of general-purpose drilling tasks, and the HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed to cut through ferrous metals, cast iron, and similar materials. At 0.05 pounds, this is a lightweight individual bit sized for precision work. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople who need reliable performance in metal drilling applications.

This drill bit is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade shop environments where hard-surface drilling is routine. The R18 series jobber length design fits standard drill chucks and is appropriate for use with benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations commonly rely on HSS jobber bits for drilling pilot holes and clearance holes through structural steel and metal enclosures.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for cutting hard surfaces and ferrous metals
• Jobber length design provides versatile reach for general-purpose drilling
• R18 series build for consistent geometry and durability
• Compatible with standard drill chucks on hand drills and drill presses
• Lightweight at 0.05 pounds for easy handling and bit changes

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS jobber length drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks used in hand-held power drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit breakage. Ensure the drill chuck is tightened completely around the bit shank before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through hardened steel or cast iron to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Worn or dull bits should be replaced rather than forced, as excessive pressure increases the risk of bit failure.
