It carries a 140-degree split-style point angle and a fast spiral flute configuration, which helps clear chips efficiently when drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The bit measures 2.25 inches overall length with a 1.25-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank. At 0.0890 inches decimal diameter, it covers general-purpose small-hole work across a range of trade and light industrial applications. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces entry force and helps keep the point centered on the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC or manual machining setups where No. 43 wire gauge holes are required. Typical applications include pilot drilling, tapping clearance holes, and precision small-bore work in sheet metal, structural steel, aluminum extrusions, and wood framing or millwork. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with standard drill chucks and spindles. It is a general-purpose grade bit appropriate for production, maintenance, and repair drilling tasks in HVAC fabrication, electrical rough-in, plumbing, and general mechanical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo. 43 wire size, 0.0890 inches decimal diameter for precise small-bore drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle for aggressive, self-centering entry on metal and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute geometry promotes rapid chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves point stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides wear resistance across common workpiece materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish; no coating buildup to affect hole tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose No. 43 wire gauge jobber drill bit compatible with standard straight-shank drill chucks.

Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Replace the bit if point geometry is visibly dulled, as a worn 140-degree point on small-diameter HSS bits increases the risk of walking and breakage. Eye protection is required during all drilling operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0890 inches\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\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0890 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum and Non-Ferrous, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: BS26N0043\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715151102258,"sku":"BS26N0043","price":40.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/500233657fb323844a1b31a439b62a8b.jpg?v=1788509811","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs26n0043-no-43-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
