Value Collection 01165182 Jobber Drill 9/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01165182 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit ground to a 118-degree standard point angle and left bright/uncoated for general-purpose use. The bit measures 9/32 inch (0.2812 inch decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 4.25 inches and a flute length of 2.9375 inches. It features a regular spiral flute, a tapered web with web thinning for improved chip evacuation, and a straight cylindrical shank. Right-hand cutting direction suits the vast majority of drill press and handheld drill applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators reach for this size when drilling aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous materials.

This bit is suited to light industrial and general shop use across residential and commercial maintenance, HVAC fabrication, electrical panel work, and plumbing rough-in tasks where a common 9/32-inch clearance or pilot hole is required. The HSS construction handles intermittent cuts in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and softer materials without the cost premium of coated or cobalt grades. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without adapters.

Key Features

• 9/32 inch diameter (0.2812 inch decimal) straight cylindrical shank

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for any application requiring a 9/32-inch right-hand jobber drill in a standard three-jaw or keyless drill chuck.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized drill chuck before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the material being drilled — lower speeds are recommended for harder metals. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and regrind or replace the bit if the point shows wear to avoid overheating or walking.
