Value Collection 01220227 Left Hand Jobber Drill 11/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01220227 is a left-hand jobber-length drill bit designed for drilling operations that require reverse-rotation cutting, most commonly used when extracting broken fasteners or drilling alongside left-hand threaded applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit measures 11/32 inches (0.3438 inches decimal) in diameter with an overall length of 4-3/4 inches and a flute length of 3-7/16 inches. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust force at the tip for cleaner entry. Installation and use are suited to machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working with reversible drills or dedicated left-hand drill presses.

This drill bit is rated for use on steel and cast iron as the primary workpiece materials, making it applicable in maintenance, repair, and fabrication settings where broken bolt extraction or left-hand threading operations are routine. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without the need for adapters. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both shop and field use where a general-purpose left-hand bit in the 11/32-inch size range is required.

Key Features

• Left-hand cutting direction for reverse-rotation drilling and broken fastener extraction
• High speed steel construction provides durability across steel and cast iron workpieces
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose entry geometry
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces tip thrust and improves chip clearance
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose shop and field applications
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard reversible drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose left-hand jobber drill bit compatible with any reversible drill or drill press equipped with a standard chuck accepting a straight 11/32-inch diameter shank. Intended for drilling in steel and cast iron workpieces.

Installation Notes

Left-hand drill bits require a drill or drill press set to reverse rotation before use. Confirm the drill chuck is fully tightened onto the straight shank before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. When using for broken fastener extraction, apply cutting fluid to the workpiece surface to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life.
