Value Collection 01167295 No. 29 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01167295 is a wire gauge No. 29 jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication and light industrial applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a standard 118-degree split point angle and a right-hand spiral flute configuration. The decimal inch diameter is 0.1360 inches, with an overall length of 2.875 inches and a flute length of 1.75 inches. The straight cylindrical shank matches the drill diameter at 0.1360 inches, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. Web-thinned construction with a tapered web configuration reduces thrust required at the point during entry.

This bit is suited for drilling aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and similar softer workpiece materials. The regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in these materials, reducing heat buildup and extending bit life. It is a practical choice for machinists, HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable wire-gauge bit for pilot holes, sheet metal work, and component fabrication in the No. 29 size range.

• Right-hand cut with regular spiral flute for effective chip clearing
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard keyed and keyless drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and drill-driver setups accepting a straight shank of 0.1360 inches. Optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotating cutting tools and applicable shop safety practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and ensure the chuck is fully tightened on the shank before operation. Appropriate cutting fluid or coolant is recommended when drilling metals to extend bit life, though this bit does not support coolant-through delivery. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace as needed to maintain hole quality.
