Value Collection BS26N0045 No. 45 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0045 is a No. 45 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It is ground to a 140-degree split point with web thinning and a tapered web configuration, which helps the tip self-center on entry and reduces the thrust force required to start the cut. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.0820 inches in diameter, matching the 0.0820-inch cutting diameter. Overall length is 2.125 inches with a flute length of 1.125 inches. The fast-spiral, two-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during drilling operations. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabrication professionals are the primary installers of this bit.

This bit is rated for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. The 140-degree point angle and web-thinned tip make it well suited for production drilling in sheet metal and thin-wall tubing where walk-off and breakthrough burring must be minimized. It conforms to ANSI specifications for jobber-length geometry and is appropriate for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machining centers with a compatible chuck capacity. The bit is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 12 units.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill press, hand drill, or machining center with a chuck capable of accepting a 0.0820-inch straight shank. Rated for drilling steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using standard drill chucks or collet systems. Ensure the machine is powered off and the chuck is fully secured before beginning a drilling operation. Operate at feed rates and spindle speeds appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter; consult published HSS speed-and-feed tables for the specific material. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece to prevent movement during drilling.
