Value Collection BS2600022 Jobber Drill Bit 11/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600022 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking, fabrication, and maintenance applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split point and a fast spiral flute configuration that promotes efficient chip evacuation and reduced walking on entry. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard three-jaw chucks. At 11/32 inch (0.3438 inch decimal) in diameter with a 4-3/4 inch overall length, it fits the majority of benchtop and handheld drill presses used in trade and shop environments.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling into steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The fast spiral geometry moves chips out of the cut quickly, making it practical for through-hole drilling in structural steel, sheet metal, and light fabrication work. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements at the point, which extends tool life in repetitive production drilling. It is a practical single-unit replacement or addition to a shop drill index for machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and general maintenance technicians.

Key Features

• 11/32 inch diameter (0.3438 inch decimal) for precise sizing within the 0.3000 to 0.3500 inch range
• 140-degree standard point angle reduces walking and improves entry on flat metal surfaces
• Fast spiral flute design accelerates chip evacuation during through-hole drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers axial thrust and extends cutting edge life
• High speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Bright, uncoated finish — compatible with cutting fluids and lubricants as needed
• Right-hand cutting direction; straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style general-purpose jobber drill bit conforming to ANSI specification; fits any standard three-jaw chuck or drill press collet that accepts a straight cylindrical shank at 11/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians using standard drill presses or handheld power drills. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is evident.
