Value Collection BS2600020 5/16 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600020 is a 5/16 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. The bit features a 140-degree split point with web thinning for reduced walking and easier penetration on curved or hard surfaces. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for HSS tooling used in moderate-speed, low-heat applications. With an overall length of 4.5 inches and a fast spiral flute configuration, this bit moves chips efficiently out of the cut. It is sized for use in standard drill chucks and drill presses commonly found in trade and shop environments.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses. The 3.1875 inch flute length provides adequate depth capacity for most general fastener and clearance hole applications encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication work. It is sold individually and is appropriate for tradespeople and shop technicians who need a reliable replacement or supplemental bit in a commonly used size.

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 5/16 inch size range.

Installation Notes

Install the bit fully into the chuck and tighten securely before operation. Use appropriate cutting speed for the workpiece material — lower speeds are recommended for steel, higher speeds for aluminum and wood. Wear eye protection at all times when drilling. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or the flutes are damaged.
