Triumph Twist Drill 012624 Wire Size 24 Hss Drill Bit

Product Description

The TRIUMPH TWIST DRILL 012624 is a jobber-length twist drill bit sized to wire gauge 24, equivalent to 0.1520 inches in decimal. Built from M7 high speed steel with a gold oxide finish, this bit is engineered for heavy-duty drilling in alloy steel, carbon steel, and wood. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows self-centering entry without a center punch. With a regular spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it clears chips efficiently and reduces thrust load during the cut. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general trade professionals reach for this series when consistent hole quality in metal or wood is the priority.

The 012624 fits standard jobber-length drill applications in residential and light commercial settings. The straight cylindrical shank seats in any standard drill chuck, keyless or keyed. Typical uses include drilling pilot and clearance holes in ductwork, electrical panel knockouts, structural steel, pipe flanges, and wood framing members. The T2HD series is rated for high-performance work where a general-purpose bit would deflect, overheat, or dull prematurely. The gold oxide coating reduces friction and adds light corrosion resistance during storage and use.

Key Features

• Wire gauge 24 (0.1520 inches) with a matching 0.1520-inch straight cylindrical shank
• M7 high speed steel construction rated for heavy-duty, high-performance use
• 135-degree split point with web thinning for self-centering entry and reduced thrust
• Gold oxide coating for reduced friction and light corrosion resistance
• Regular spiral flute, 2 inches long, for efficient chip evacuation
• Right-hand cut, suitable for conventional drill drivers and drill presses
• Tapered web configuration minimizes heat buildup in the cutting zone

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style jobber-length drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1520-inch straight cylindrical shank, including handheld drill drivers and bench-mounted drill presses. Rated for alloy steel, carbon steel, and wood workpiece materials per the T2HD series specification.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by qualified tradespeople following standard drilling practices. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened on the shank before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling in steel to extend bit life and reduce heat. Replace the bit if tip geometry shows visible wear, as a dull split-point bit increases thrust load and can damage the workpiece or the drill.
