Value Collection BS2600021 Jobber Drill Bit 21/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600021 is a high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built to ANSI specification, this right-hand cutting bit features a 140-degree split point angle and a fast spiral flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation and reduced walking on entry. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements and helps maintain accuracy through the cut. At 4.625 inches overall length with a 3.3125-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and magnetic drill setups used daily in trade and fabrication work.

This jobber drill is suited for drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood in both shop and field applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks across a broad range of portable drills, drill presses, and mill setups. Its bright uncoated finish and general-purpose grade make it a practical, cost-effective option for production runs, maintenance work, and service calls where a reliable standard-length bit is needed without specialty coatings.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified tradespeople or machinists familiar with proper chuck mounting and drill press operation. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck and verify tightening before operation to prevent slippage. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
