Value Collection BS26N0037 No. 37 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0037 is a No. 37 wire-size jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 0.1040-inch diameter and a 140-degree split-point angle, which reduces walking on entry and is well suited for drilling into steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The overall length is 2.5 inches with a 1.4375-inch fast-spiral flute that clears chips efficiently during drilling operations. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements and extends cutting life under normal shop conditions. General-purpose machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers are the primary users of this bit.

This drill bit is appropriate for light-duty to general-purpose drilling in both production and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) environments. Its straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. The fast spiral flute geometry performs well in softer metals such as aluminum and non-ferrous alloys while remaining capable in mild steel. The No. 37 wire size corresponds to a 0.1040-inch diameter, placing it in the 0.1000- to 0.1500-inch decimal range commonly needed for pilot holes, tapping prep, and precision hole work in sheet metal and light structural stock.

Key Features

• No. 37 wire size, 0.1040-inch diameter for precise small-hole drilling
• 140-degree point angle reduces bit walking and improves entry accuracy
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for metal drilling
• Fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers feed force required during drilling
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to flake or delaminate in use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck sized to accept a 0.1040-inch straight cylindrical shank, including benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling fixtures. Suitable for workpiece materials including steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood per ANSI specification designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, tool and die technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Secure the straight shank firmly in a keyed or keyless chuck before operation and confirm the bit is centered and fully seated. Always wear appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent rotation. Follow applicable shop safety standards and manufacturer guidelines for drilling speeds appropriate to the workpiece material and bit diameter.
