Sized at 0.1770 inches in diameter, it features a 140-degree split point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering on entry. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, keeping the cutting zone clear during through-hole drilling. At 3.375 inches overall length with a 2.1875-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is suited for both handheld and machine-mounted drilling applications. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for general purpose use across multiple substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is used in metal fabrication, maintenance and repair, woodworking, and light manufacturing environments. It cuts right-hand in a standard forward-rotation drill or drill press. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard three-jaw chucks without an adapter. Suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood, the BS26N0016 covers common trade and shop applications where a reliable, general-purpose wire-gauge bit is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire size 16 (0.1770 inch diameter) for precise hole sizing in metal and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree split point with web thinning reduces walking and improves bite on entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute geometry accelerates chip removal and reduces heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish maintains consistent cutting geometry for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck or drill press collet accepting a 0.1770-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove drill bits only when the drill or drill press is fully powered down and the chuck is stationary. Secure the shank firmly in the chuck to prevent slippage and runout during operation. When drilling steel or non-ferrous metals, use a center punch to mark the hole location and apply cutting fluid where appropriate to extend bit life.
