It measures 3.25 inches overall with a 2.125-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.1695 inches. The two-flute regular spiral geometry with tapered web and web-thinning promotes chip evacuation and reduces walking on entry. This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in production, maintenance, and repair environments and is installed by machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians drilling through sheet metal, angle iron, and similar workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized to the No. 18 wire-gauge standard at 0.1695 inches decimal diameter and is intended for use in aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and other general-purpose materials. Its jobber length — 3.25 inches overall with a 2.125-inch flute — fits standard keyed and keyless chucks on benchtop drill presses and handheld corded or cordless drills. The bright uncoated finish provides good lubricity on aluminum and soft non-ferrous alloys without added tooling cost. Sold individually; minimum order applies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 18 wire size, 0.1695-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and cleaner entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose durability across non-ferrous and aluminum stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish performs well on aluminum and soft metals without coating degradation risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting, regular spiral flute, straight shank — compatible with standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJobber length at 3.25 inches overall provides reach and rigidity for common drilling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chucks accepting a 0.1695-inch straight shank; fits benchtop drill presses, magnetic base drills, and handheld power drills across trade and light industrial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrill bit installation and use should follow standard machine-shop and trade safety practices: secure the workpiece before drilling, ensure the chuck is fully tightened on the straight shank, and wear appropriate eye protection. When drilling aluminum or non-ferrous metals, apply a cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Power down the drill and allow the bit to stop fully before removing it from the chuck or workpiece. Inspect the point for wear or chipping before each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1695 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1695 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Non-Ferrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01167188\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698819465522,"sku":"01167188","price":41.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0166c00f19973e0dc845bbaac3463579.jpg?v=1788368427","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01167188-no-18-hss-jobber-drill-bit-118deg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
