Value Collection BS26N0028 No. 28 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0028 is a No. 28 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The 140-degree split point reduces walking and requires less thrust than a standard 118-degree point. At 2.875 inches overall length with a 1.75-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber proportion suitable for bench drill presses, hand drills, and drill motors used daily in fabrication, maintenance, and assembly work. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, making it well-suited for softer metals and wood.

This drill bit is intended for use in light-to-medium duty drilling applications across metalworking, woodworking, and general maintenance trades. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks without any special tooling. Its 0.1405-inch decimal diameter corresponds to a No. 28 wire gauge, a size commonly used for tapping operations and close-tolerance hole preparation. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for all conventional drill press and hand-drill operation.

Key Features

• No. 28 wire size with 0.1405-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 140-degree point angle reduces bit walking and lowers required feed pressure
• Fast spiral flute promotes aggressive chip clearing in aluminum, steel, and wood
• High-speed steel construction provides heat resistance for general-purpose metal drilling
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance at the chisel edge
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating delamination risk; easy to inspect for wear

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a straight cylindrical shank of 0.1405 inches. Suitable for bench drill presses, drill motors, and right-angle drill attachments used across metalworking, woodworking, and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and tighten with a chuck key before use. Always wear eye protection when drilling. Apply cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely before starting the cut to prevent rotation.
