Value Collection BS26N0014 No. 14 Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0014 is a No. 14 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The 140-degree split-point geometry reduces walking on contact and lowers the thrust needed to penetrate the workpiece. At 0.1820 inches in diameter with a 3.375-inch overall length and a 2.1875-inch flute length, it fits the proportions expected for general-purpose jobber stock. The fast spiral flute promotes chip evacuation in a range of materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators reach for this bit in production and repair settings alike.

This drill bit is suited for use in hand-held power drills, drill presses, and light-duty CNC operations where a wire-gauge hole is required. Primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard three-jaw chucks without an adapter. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling operations. No coolant-through capability is present, so external cutting fluid or standard dry drilling applies depending on the material.

Key Features

• No. 14 wire size — 0.1820-inch diameter for precise wire-gauge hole sizing
• 140-degree point angle reduces drill walking and lowers entry thrust
• Fast spiral flute geometry improves chip flow and helps prevent packing
• Web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance at the tip
• Bright uncoated finish — compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• ANSI specification designation for dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for any application requiring a No. 14 wire-size (0.1820-inch) straight-shank jobber drill in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, or wood.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or fabricators using standard drilling equipment. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck jaws and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Ensure the drill press table or workpiece is clamped before starting the spindle. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is damaged to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
