Value Collection BS2600005 Jobber Drill Bit 5/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600005 is a 5/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, light industrial, and maintenance environments. The bit features a 140-degree split point and a fast spiral flute configuration with web thinning, which reduces walking on entry and improves chip evacuation. At 2 inches overall length with a 1 inch flute length, this is a compact bit suited for close-quarters drilling where standard-length bits are impractical. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the tool cost-effective for shops that consume small-diameter bits at high volume. Installation and use require no special tooling beyond a standard drill chuck.

This drill bit is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where small pilot holes or sheet-metal penetrations are needed. Suitable primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The right-hand cutting direction and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with standard keyed and keyless drill chucks across corded and cordless platforms. The fast spiral flute geometry is particularly effective in softer materials where chip clearance is a priority.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) diameter with 140-degree standard point angle for reduced walking on entry
• High speed steel construction rated for steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Fast spiral flute with web thinning and tapered web configuration for improved chip evacuation
• Bright, uncoated finish for cost-effective use in high-consumption applications
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• ANSI specification designation for dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 5/64 inch size range.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and replaced by any trade professional using a hand drill or drill press. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed prior to powering the tool. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Discard bits showing tip damage or dulling to avoid breakage, which is a common risk with small-diameter high speed steel bits under side load.
