Value Collection BS26N0007 No. 7 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0007 is a No. 7 wire-size jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 140-degree split point with web thinning for self-centering starts and reduced walking on entry. The fast-spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. At 3.625 inches overall length with a 2.4375-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber-format bit suited for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance environments. Licensed machinists, metalworkers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians all reach for wire-gauge bits like this when working to close-tolerance hole sizes.

This bit is sized to the No. 7 wire gauge standard, corresponding to 0.2010 inches decimal diameter. It is designed for drilling steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. Typical applications include pilot holes, clearance holes, and tap-size preparation in sheet metal, structural steel, copper tube, aluminum extrusions, and similar materials. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw keyless or keyed drill chucks.

Key Features

• No. 7 wire size, 0.2010 inches decimal diameter for close-tolerance hole work
• 140-degree point angle with web thinning reduces thrust and minimizes drill walk on entry
• Fast-spiral flute design promotes rapid chip removal in metal and non-ferrous applications
• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance for general-purpose metal drilling
• Bright uncoated finish for easy visual inspection of cutting-edge condition
• ANSI-specification geometry ensures dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or consumable jobber drill bit for any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.2010-inch straight cylindrical shank. Compatible with benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic-base drills used in metalworking, HVAC fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trades.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly sized three-jaw chuck and tighten securely before operation. Always power down and lock out the drill press or deenergize the hand drill before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend edge life and reduce heat buildup. Wear eye protection per OSHA and applicable shop-safety standards when operating any drill bit.
