Sgs 51032 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit No. 32

Product Description

The SGS 51032 is a solid carbide jobber length drill bit in No. 32 wire size, equivalent to 0.116 inch (2.95 mm) diameter. Built to DIN 338 standards from micrograin solid carbide, it delivers the rigidity and edge retention required for precision drilling in hard or abrasive materials. The 118-degree faceted point and web-thinned, tapered web geometry reduce thrust and improve centering at entry. With a 2-flute spiral flute design and bright uncoated finish, this bit is suited for production environments where tool life and hole accuracy are priorities. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this Series 101 bit for close-tolerance work.

The SGS 51032 is designed for drilling operations in metalworking applications including ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, hardened steels, and similarly demanding materials where a conventional high-speed steel bit would wear prematurely. The 1.25-inch flute length supports chip evacuation in blind and through-hole drilling up to a maximum drilling depth of 1.00 inch. The straight-cylindrical shank at 0.116 inch diameter seats securely in standard drill chucks and collet holders on CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power tools.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for superior hardness and wear resistance
• 118-degree faceted point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• DIN 338 standard geometry ensures consistent dimensional compliance
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with cutting fluids or dry in non-ferrous materials
• Regular spiral, 2-flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio provides balanced rigidity and reach in jobber length format

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct equivalent for standard No. 32 wire gauge jobber length drill bits conforming to DIN 338 specifications. Fits standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.116-inch straight-cylindrical shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with rotary cutting tool safety. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and power is locked out before changing bits. Verify chuck or collet grip on the full shank length to prevent pull-out under load. Do not exceed the rated maximum drilling depth of 1.00 inch per pass without retracting to clear chips.
