Value Collection BS26N0062 No. 62 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0062 is a wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit sized to No. 62 (0.0380 inches diameter), designed for precision drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous alloys, and wood. The 140-degree split-point geometry reduces walking and requires less feed pressure at entry, making it well-suited for production drilling and layout work. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance across general-purpose applications. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. With a fast spiral flute and web-thinned, tapered web configuration, chip evacuation stays efficient in shallow-to-moderate depth holes. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the typical users.

This bit is intended for small-diameter drilling tasks in light manufacturing, assembly, and maintenance environments. It performs in ferrous and non-ferrous metals as well as wood substrates, making it a versatile choice for bench work, fixture building, and field maintenance operations. The 1.5-inch overall length and 0.625-inch flute length are sized for jobber-class drilling depth. It ships and is sold individually but is ordered in multiples of 12, making it appropriate for replenishing shop stock or tool crib inventory.

Key Features

• No. 62 wire size, 0.0380 inches diameter for tight-tolerance small-hole work
• 140-degree point angle reduces drill walking and entry force on hard materials
• High speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Fast spiral flute with web-thinned, tapered web for efficient chip removal
• Bright uncoated finish, right-hand cutting direction, ANSI specification
• Two-flute design with straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard keyed or keyless drill chucks accepting a 0.0380-inch straight shank, including benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling applications requiring wire-gauge tooling.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck before operation and confirm the chuck is tightened at all three key positions to prevent slippage. Always power down or de-energize the drill press or hand tool before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Eye protection is required during all drilling operations per standard shop safety practice.
