Value Collection BS26N0036 No. 36 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0036 is a No. 36 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) for general-purpose drilling applications. The bit features a 140-degree split-point geometry with web thinning, which reduces walking on entry and lowers the thrust force needed to start a hole. At 2.5 inches overall length with a 1.4375-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and benchtop or handheld drilling equipment. A bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating buildup in the flute is a concern or where re-sharpening is anticipated. This bit is sold individually and is a staple in shops, maintenance departments, and trade toolkits.

This drill bit is suited for drilling steel, aluminum, other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer materials while still performing reliably in mild steel. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.1065-inch diameter fits 3-jaw chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trade work. It conforms to ANSI specification standards for jobber-length drill geometry.

Key Features

• No. 36 wire size, 0.1065-inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 140-degree point angle with web thinning reduces bit walking and entry thrust
• Fast spiral, 2-flute design promotes chip clearance in metal and wood
• High speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose materials
• Bright uncoated finish allows easy inspection and resharpening
• Straight shank compatible with standard 3-jaw chuck drill equipment

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard 3-jaw drill chuck sized to accept a 0.1065-inch straight shank, including drill presses, cordless drills, and corded hand drills used across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC trade applications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by trade professionals and general machinists using standard drill chucks — no special tooling is required beyond a properly sized chuck key or keyless chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before drilling and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent rotation. When drilling metal, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace or resharpen bits that show signs of dulling or chipping.
