Value Collection BS26N0034 No. 34 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0034 is a No. 34 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in production and maintenance applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it cuts a 0.111-inch diameter hole and measures 2.625 inches overall. The 140-degree split point reduces walking on entry and requires less feed force than a conventional 118-degree grind. Two fast-spiral flutes efficiently evacuate chips, and the web-thinned, tapered web design keeps cutting resistance low. Licensed tradespeople and skilled fabricators reach for this bit when speed and clean entry matter on everyday drilling tasks.

This bit suits drilling in steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drill stations without an adapter. The 1.5-inch flute length provides adequate depth for typical sheet-metal, structural, and light fabrication work. It conforms to ANSI standards for jobber-length drill bits, making it a reliable off-the-shelf replacement in any shop environment.

Key Features

• No. 34 wire size — 0.111-inch cutting diameter for precision small-hole work
• 140-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers required feed force
• Fast-spiral, two-flute design accelerates chip evacuation in metal and wood
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and heat buildup
• Bright/uncoated HSS construction — easy to inspect for wear and resharpen
• ANSI-compliant jobber-length geometry for consistent fitment in standard chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 0.111-inch straight cylindrical shank, including handheld electric drills, benchtop drill presses, and CNC drilling stations. Suitable for primary workpiece materials including steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood.

Installation Notes

Secure the straight shank firmly in a calibrated three-jaw chuck before drilling; confirm the bit is centered and running true before applying feed pressure. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection and secure workpieces with a vise or clamp — never hold small workpieces by hand. Inspect the cutting edges and web before each use and replace or resharpen the bit at the first sign of dulling to maintain hole quality and prevent bit breakage.
