Value Collection BS26N0029 No 29 Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0029 is a No. 29 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 140-degree split-style point geometry with web thinning applied to the tapered web, which reduces thrust and improves chip flow at entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.1360 inches in diameter, matching the bit diameter for direct chuck engagement. Overall length is 2.875 inches with a 1.750-inch flute length. The fast spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation during through-hole drilling in a range of common workpiece materials.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. It is a practical choice for maintenance, fabrication, and light production work where a standard wire gauge size is required. The No. 29 size is commonly used to produce clearance or tap-drill holes in thin to medium-gauge stock. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for use in conventional drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills. Coolant-through is not supported.

Key Features

• No. 29 wire gauge diameter — 0.1360 inches
• 140-degree point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• Fast spiral flute geometry for active chip removal
• Bright, uncoated HSS construction — general-purpose grade
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters
• ANSI specification compliant

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations requiring a No. 29 wire gauge size in straight-shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a properly sized 3-jaw or collet chuck before operation. Confirm spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before starting the cut. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised to avoid workpiece damage or bit breakage.
