Value Collection BS2600029 Jobber Drill Bit 29/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2600029 is a high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, maintenance, and light industrial applications. It measures 29/64 inch (0.4531 inch decimal) in diameter with a 140-degree split point and a fast spiral flute configuration. The bright, uncoated finish keeps the steel exposed for standard cutting operations. The overall length is 5-5/8 inches with a 4-3/16 inch flute length, giving it the reach typical of jobber-length tooling. Licensed trades and maintenance technicians working with ferrous and non-ferrous materials reach for this type of drill daily.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard drill chucks without adapters, making it compatible with benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand drills alike. Its general-purpose grade and ANSI specification designation make it a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical rough-in work where consistent hole sizing in sheet metal and structural members is required. The 2-flute, fast spiral design clears chips efficiently during through-hole drilling.
