Value Collection BS2600028 Jobber Drill Bit 7/16 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600028 is a 7/16 inch diameter jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 140-degree split-point angle for reduced walking and faster penetration, making it well suited for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments. The fast spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust requirements at the cutting point. At 5.5 inches overall length with a 4.0625 inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks in corded drills, drill presses, and milling machines. Licensed tradespeople and skilled machinists are the typical installers.

This jobber drill bit is designed for right-hand cutting in a wide range of workpiece materials including steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. Its straight cylindrical shank seats securely in both keyed and keyless chucks. General-purpose grade construction makes it appropriate for repetitive production runs, shop maintenance drilling, and field service work where a versatile, uncoated HSS bit is the practical choice. It ships individually as a single-piece package quantity.

Key Features

• 7/16 inch (0.4375 inch) diameter, ANSI specification compliance
• 140-degree point angle with web thinning reduces thrust and minimizes bit walk on entry

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling machines, and handheld corded drills equipped with chucks that accept a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.4000 to 0.5000 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify runout before drilling. Always power down and de-energize the machine before changing bits. When drilling metals, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Follow shop safety practices and applicable ANSI machine tool standards for speed and feed selection based on workpiece material.
