Precision Twist Drill 018057 Hss Jobber Length Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018057 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit in size 57, built for drilling into hard surfaces with consistent performance. Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity, making it a reliable choice for production drilling, maintenance, and repair work. HSS construction provides the heat resistance and edge retention needed for ferrous metals, hard plastics, and similar materials. This bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC applications where standard jobber-length tooling is specified.

This drill bit is used across metalworking, fabrication, and general mechanical trades. Size 57 wire gauge bits are commonly required for precision hole sizing in sheet metal, brackets, and machined components. They are a standard fit for applications where close-tolerance holes are needed before tapping or reaming. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in shop or field settings will find this a practical addition to their drill index.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for heat resistance and extended edge life
• Jobber-length design balances reach with rigidity for accurate drilling
• Size 57 wire gauge for precision hole sizing and pre-tap applications
• Compatible with standard drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment
• Sold individually, minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length HSS drill bit suitable for use with any drill press, hand drill, or CNC machine equipped with a compatible chuck accepting size 57 wire gauge tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed prior to starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow shop safety protocols. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
