Value Collection BS26N0052 No. 52 Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0052 is a No. 52 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 140-degree split point and a fast spiral flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves hole entry. At 1.875 inches overall length with a 0.875-inch flute length and a 0.0635-inch straight shank diameter, this bit is sized for precision drilling in tight applications. It is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, metalworkers, and general tradespeople.

This jobber drill bit is suited for drilling in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. Its compact overall length and wire gauge sizing make it a practical choice for circuit board work, light fabrication, and production drilling where small-diameter holes are required. The right-hand cutting direction and fast spiral flute geometry support clean hole formation in both handheld and drill press setups. This bit conforms to ANSI specification standards.

Key Features

• No. 52 wire gauge size — 0.0635-inch diameter for precision small-hole drilling
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip removal during cutting
• High speed steel construction provides durability across steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without added coating cost
• Right-hand cut with straight cylindrical shank for compatibility with standard chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, CNC drilling operations, and handheld power drills equipped with chucks capable of accepting a 0.0635-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this bit is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople. Secure the straight shank firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Select appropriate feed rate and spindle speed for the workpiece material to avoid overheating the bit. Do not force the bit through material — allow the flute geometry to clear chips naturally.
