Value Collection BS26N0024 Jobber Drill No. 24 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0024 is a No. 24 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 140-degree split-point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and a fast spiral flute geometry that promotes chip ejection in a variety of materials. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1520 inches in diameter, matching the cutting diameter for easy chuck seating. At 3.125 inches overall length with a 2-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber-length tool suited for bench drills, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where a general-purpose HSS bit is specified.

This bit is rated for use in steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. It is an appropriate choice for maintenance technicians, fabricators, electricians, and plumbers who need a reliable wire-gauge drill for conduit knockout prep, sheet metal work, anchor pilot holes, and general fastener clearance drilling. The No. 24 wire size corresponds to 0.1520 inches decimal, which falls within the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch range common in standard wire-gauge sets. It complies with ANSI specification requirements for jobber-length twist drills.

Key Features

• No. 24 wire size, 0.1520 inch cutting diameter for precise wire-gauge hole sizing
• 140-degree point angle with web thinning reduces walking and cutting thrust
• Fast spiral flute promotes aggressive chip evacuation in metals and wood
• High speed steel construction provides adequate heat resistance for general-purpose drilling
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or peel under regrinding
• Right-hand cutting, straight shank compatible with standard 3-jaw chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. Fits any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1520-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and trade technicians using standard drill presses, hand drills, or CNC spindles. Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized chuck before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life, noting this bit does not support through-coolant delivery. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace rather than attempt field regrinding without proper equipment.
