Value Collection BS26N0006 Jobber Drill Bit 0.2040 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0006 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 6, equivalent to 0.204 inches in diameter. It features a 140-degree split-point geometry with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements compared to a standard 118-degree point. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in the materials this bit is designed to handle. At 3.75 inches overall length with a 2.5-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and drill presses used in everyday metal fabrication and maintenance work. The bright, uncoated finish is consistent with general-purpose HSS tooling and is suitable for dry cutting or use with cutting fluid.

This drill bit is suited for drilling steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and maintenance technicians for hole-making in sheet metal, structural steel, aluminum extrusions, and wood framing. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard Jacobs-style drill chucks on handheld drills and bench-mounted drill presses. It conforms to ANSI specifications for jobber-length drill bits.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, electrician, pipefitter, or experienced maintenance technician typically installs and operates drill bits of this type. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the tool. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent rotation. Use a cutting fluid or light oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality.
