Value Collection BS2600027 Jobber Drill 27/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600027 is a jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The bit measures 27/64 inch (0.4219 inch) in diameter with a 5-3/8 inch overall length and a 3-15/16 inch flute length. It features a 140-degree split point for improved centering and reduced walking on contact. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit handles everyday production drilling and maintenance tasks. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, cordless drills, and hand drills. Two fast-spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during the cut.

This jobber drill bit is suited for maintenance technicians, fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC mechanics who need a reliable general-purpose bit for metal and non-metal materials. The 27/64 inch diameter is a common size for bolt clearance holes, conduit work, and sheet-metal fabrication. The fast-spiral flute geometry works well in softer metals such as aluminum and in wood, where chip evacuation speed matters. The bright finish is appropriate for dry cutting and light coolant applications. This bit is sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill or drill press is fully powered down and the chuck has stopped rotating. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck before applying any cutting force. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Wear eye protection at all times during drilling operations per OSHA and shop-safety standards.
