Value Collection BS2600008 1/8 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600008 is a 1/8 inch diameter jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 140-degree split point for positive engagement and reduced walking on entry. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling. At 2-3/4 inches overall length with a 1-5/8 inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for frequent use in hand drills, drill presses, and benchtop equipment. It is a right-hand cutting bit with a straight cylindrical shank and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration.

This jobber drill bit is suited for light-duty to medium-duty drilling tasks encountered in HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, electrical panel work, and general sheet metal or structural work. Its 1/8 inch diameter makes it a common choice for pilot holes, wire routing pass-throughs, and fastener clearance holes. The bright finish is appropriate for most standard drilling applications where coating-specific lubricity is not required. Tradespeople across multiple disciplines keep this size on hand for its versatility across steel, aluminum, and wood substrates.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch (0.1250 inch) diameter, ANSI specification
• 140-degree standard point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering
• Fast spiral flutes for efficient chip removal in steel and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose applications
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for use with or without cutting fluid
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and benchtop drilling equipment. Compatible with steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood workpieces per ANSI specification designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and trade technicians using standard drilling equipment. Secure the workpiece before drilling and select an appropriate drill speed for the material being cut. Use cutting fluid when drilling hardened steel to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use; a dull bit increases thrust requirements and can damage the workpiece or the bit.
