Value Collection BS2600025 Jobber Drill Bit 25/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600025 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, mechanical, and light industrial applications. Ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, the bit features a 25/64-inch diameter, a 140-degree split-point geometry, and a web-thinned tip that reduces walking and lowers thrust requirements at entry. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling. At 5.125 inches overall length with a 3.75-inch flute, it falls within the standard jobber reach range suited to benchtop drill presses and handheld drill operations alike.

This bit is rated for use in steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and wood, making it a versatile single-bit option for shops and field technicians who need reliable hole quality across mixed materials. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard three-jaw chucks without requiring a specialized collet or adapter. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for all conventional drill press and handheld drill motor applications. Coolant-through capability is not available on this bit.

Key Features

• 25/64-inch diameter (0.3906 inch decimal) for precise hole sizing
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces entry thrust and minimizes bit walking
• High speed steel construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for general-purpose metal and wood drilling
• Fast spiral flute promotes aggressive chip clearing during continuous drilling cycles
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole tolerances in close-tolerance applications
• ANSI specification compliance ensures dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks, suitable for bench-top drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld drill motors used on steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood.

Installation Notes

Install in a standard keyed or keyless three-jaw chuck and confirm the shank is fully seated before operation. Always secure the workpiece with a vise or clamps — never hold freehand when drilling metal. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive dulling is observed.
