Value Collection BS26N0025 No. 25 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0025 is a No. 25 wire-size jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) for general-purpose drilling applications. The bit features a 140-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and cuts without a center punch on most common materials. At 3 inches overall length with a 1.875-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber format suited to handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1495 inch in diameter and fits standard three-jaw chucks. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians install this bit for production and repair work alike.

This bit is rated for use in steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. The bright uncoated finish makes it a cost-effective choice for general shop use where high-volume runs or specialty coatings are not required. Web-thinned construction with a tapered web reduces thrust load at the cutting tip, making it well suited for hand-drill applications in thin-gauge materials as well as machine-fed work on a drill press. It conforms to ANSI specification standards and carries a 23241634 UNSPSC code.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 0.1495-inch straight shank, including handheld power drills, benchtop drill presses, and CNC drill heads.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck jaws and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Disconnect or de-energize the drill or machine before changing bits. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point is degraded to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
