Value Collection BS2600010 5/32 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600010 is a 5/32 inch diameter jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split point geometry and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces walking and improves centering on entry. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, helping maintain cutting speed and bit life during production or service work. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 2-inch flute length, this bit fits standard three-jaw chucks and most benchtop and handheld drill applications.

This jobber drill is suited for use in metalworking, fabrication, HVAC, plumbing rough-in, and general maintenance trades. Its right-hand cutting direction and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with conventional drill presses, hand drills, and drill-driver combos. Primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a practical single-bit option across multiple trade applications where a 5/32 inch clearance or pilot hole is required.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch (0.1562 inch) diameter, general-purpose jobber length
• High speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for improved self-centering
• Fast spiral flute design with 2-inch flute length for efficient chip removal
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole diameter tolerances
• Right-hand cutting, straight cylindrical shank — fits standard chuck sizes
• ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use with standard three-jaw drill chucks in drill presses, cordless drills, and corded hand drills accepting straight cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and confirm the bit runs true before drilling. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before engaging the drill. Match drill speed (RPM) to material type and bit diameter per standard machining references — smaller diameters generally require higher speeds in soft materials and lower speeds in hardened steel. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before reuse; a dull HSS bit generates excess heat and can damage both the bit and the workpiece.
