Sgs 53026 Solid Carbide Jobber Drill Bit 0.1470 in Wire 26

Product Description

The SGS 53026 is a jobber-length drill bit machined from micrograin solid carbide and designed for demanding metal-cutting applications. It carries a wire gauge size 26 designation with a decimal diameter of 0.1470 inches and an overall length of 2.5 inches. The 150-degree split point geometry reduces walking at entry and decreases thrust load compared to standard 118-degree points. Three spiral flutes clear chips efficiently at depth, and the bright, uncoated finish is suited for use with cutting fluids where coating buildup is a concern. A web-thinned, tapered web improves penetration in harder workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, toolroom technicians, and production floor operators are the primary users of this bit.

The SGS 53026 is engineered for drilling cast iron, hardened steel, non-ferrous metals, and general-purpose steel. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio and 1.375-inch flute length support a maximum drilling depth of approximately 1.109 inches in a single pass. The straight cylindrical shank with a diameter of 0.1470 inches seats in standard drill chucks and collet holders without adapter sleeves. This bit is appropriate for CNC machining centers, drill presses, and hand-held power drills where solid carbide tooling is specified.

Key Features

• Micrograin solid carbide construction for extended tool life in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 150-degree drill point angle reduces thrust and minimizes workpiece walk-off at entry
• Three-flute configuration improves chip evacuation and surface finish at depth
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance in hardened steel and cast iron
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with water-soluble and oil-based cutting fluids
• Conforms to DIN 6539 standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose jobber drill bit for applications requiring a 0.1470-inch diameter solid carbide bit with a straight cylindrical shank. Compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.1470-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom personnel familiar with carbide tooling requirements. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck or collet before operation to prevent runout. Solid carbide bits are brittle compared to high-speed steel alternatives and must not be side-loaded or used to enlarge existing holes without appropriate pecking cycles. Always verify spindle speed and feed rate against carbide tooling charts for the specific workpiece material before drilling.
