Precision Twist Drill 018056 Hss Jobber Drill Bit 56

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018056 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber length drill bit ground to a size 56 wire gauge diameter. Part of the R18 series, it is engineered for drilling into hard surfaces where bit durability and cutting edge retention are essential. HSS construction provides the hardness needed to cut through steel, cast iron, and other ferrous metals without rapid wear. The jobber length format balances rigidity and reach, making it a reliable choice for bench drilling and hand-held power tool applications alike. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworking tradespeople reach for this bit when precision and consistent hole quality matter.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose metalworking in light manufacturing, maintenance, and repair environments. The size 56 wire gauge designation targets fine-diameter hole work commonly required for tapping operations, pilot holes, and precision fits in metal fabrication. Its jobber length makes it compatible with standard drill chucks on both benchtop drill presses and cordless or corded hand drills used across industrial and trade settings.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability on hard surfaces
• Jobber length design balances reach and rigidity for consistent results
• Size 56 wire gauge for fine-diameter precision drilling and tapping pilot holes
• R18 series ground for accurate, repeatable hole geometry
• Compatible with standard drill chucks on drill presses and power drills

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose HSS jobber length drill bit suitable for use in standard drill chucks across common benchtop and handheld drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians using standard drill presses or handheld power drills. Secure the bit fully in the chuck and verify it is centered before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Wear proper eye protection in accordance with shop safety standards whenever operating drilling equipment.
