Value Collection BS2600009 Jobber Drill 9/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600009 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for everyday drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch decimal) in diameter with a 2-7/8 inch overall length and a 1-3/4 inch flute length. The 140-degree split point reduces walking on contact and allows the bit to cut without a center-punch on most materials. A tapered web configuration and web-thinned geometry reduce thrust requirements and improve chip evacuation. This bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drill heads in light-to-medium production or maintenance environments.

This jobber drill bit is appropriate for general metalworking, fabrication, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, electrical trade drilling, and woodworking applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters. It is sized for applications requiring a 9/64 inch hole, which is a common pilot or clearance drill size in trade work across multiple industries.

Key Features

• 9/64 inch diameter with 0.1406 inch decimal equivalent for precise sizing
• 140-degree standard point with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• Fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip removal in steel and non-ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose cutting applications
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for dry cutting or use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck accepting straight cylindrical shanks. Suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood per ANSI specification designation.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals using standard drill chucks. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace if chipping or wear is present, as a dull bit increases heat and the risk of workpiece damage.
