Value Collection BS26N0023 Jobber Drill Bit 23 Wire Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0023 is a Number 23 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish and features a 140-degree split point with web thinning for reduced walking on entry. At 0.154 inches in diameter and 3.125 inches overall length, this is a standard jobber proportioned tool suited for production and maintenance drilling by machinists, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals.

This drill bit is appropriate for light to medium drilling tasks in residential and commercial trade settings. It is commonly used in sheet metal work, equipment fabrication, fixture installation, and general hole-making where a Number 23 wire gauge clearance hole is required. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup during extended use in steel and aluminum stock.
