The 140-degree split-point geometry reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force, making it well suited for production drilling in steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials as well as wood. The bit measures 2.25 inches overall with a 1.25-inch fast-spiral flute and a straight cylindrical shank at 0.0935 inches in diameter. Web thinning with a tapered web configuration improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge during repeated use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is sized for general-purpose drilling in light fabrication, HVAC sheet metal, electrical enclosure work, plumbing bracket installation, and similar trade applications where a No. 42 wire gauge hole is required. The fast spiral flute clears chips efficiently in both through-hole and blind-hole drilling. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for use in conventional drill presses, cordless drivers, and hand drills. No coolant-through capability is present, so external lubrication is recommended when drilling ferrous metals at sustained feed rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWire gauge No. 42 size — 0.0935-inch decimal diameter for precise small-hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle reduces thrust and minimizes bit walking on flat surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute promotes aggressive chip evacuation in metals and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web construction lowers cutting resistance and heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated HSS construction — easy to inspect for wear and re-sharpen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI specification compliant for consistent dimensional tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit suitable for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks.

Secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent movement. Apply cutting fluid or light oil when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges for wear after extended use — a dull 140-degree point on HSS can be touch-dressed on a bench grinder by an experienced operator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 42\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0935 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metals, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BS26N0042\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690268983602,"sku":"BS26N0042","price":30.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7b9fb2670b06fac696936c34f92022df.jpg?v=1788268001","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs26n0042-no-42-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
