Value Collection 01188275 No 27 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01188275 is a No. 27 wire size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide finish. The bit measures 3 inches overall length with a 1.875-inch flute length and a 0.1440-inch diameter straight cylindrical shank. The 118-degree standard point angle is paired with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the start of the cut. Two regular spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole drilling. This bit is suited for general-purpose metalworking and is a standard consumable stocked by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and HVAC fabricators.

Designed for drilling steel and cast iron in general-purpose applications, this bit performs in hand drill, drill press, and mill operations where a No. 27 wire gauge hole is required. The right-hand cutting direction and straight shank make it compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks. Typical uses include pilot holes, tap-drill operations for small fasteners, and sheet metal work. The oxide coating provides a degree of lubricity and corrosion resistance during storage and use. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Compatibility

Designed for use in steel and cast iron workpieces. Fits any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1440-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for general-purpose drilling in hand drills, drill presses, and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized drill chuck and tighten securely before operation. Apply cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the far side of the workpiece to prevent bit grab or breakage. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit when dulling causes excess heat or poor hole finish.
