Precision Twist Drill 018058 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018058 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit from the R18 series, engineered for drilling into hard surfaces. Jobber-length geometry strikes the standard balance between rigidity and reach, making it a practical choice for general-purpose drilling tasks across a wide range of materials. The HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed to maintain a sharp cutting edge through repeated use on ferrous metals, structural steel, cast iron, and similar hard substrates. Licensed tradespeople and machinists rely on this type of bit for everyday production and service drilling.

This bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills in both shop and field environments. Typical applications include metal fabrication, HVAC rough-in work, electrical conduit drilling, and general mechanical service. The jobber-length format is the most commonly stocked configuration for trade use, fitting standard drill chucks without modification.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability on hard surfaces
• R18 series jobber-length design for standard reach and rigidity
• Compatible with standard drill chucks used in hand drills and drill presses
• Suitable for ferrous metals and other hard materials
• Sold individually (minimum order quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length HSS drill bit fitting conventional three-jaw drill chucks across corded, cordless, and drill press applications.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed and secured in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. Always ensure the workpiece is clamped or secured before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Wear appropriate eye protection per OSHA guidelines when operating any drilling equipment.
