Value Collection BS26N0067 Jobber Drill Bit No. 67 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0067 is a No. 67 wire-gauge jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in light-duty production and maintenance applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit measures 0.0320 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1.375 inches and a flute length of 0.500 inches. The 140-degree split point geometry reduces walking at entry and decreases the thrust force required to start a hole, making it well suited for thinner stock and precision work. Web thinning with a tapered web configuration supports efficient chip evacuation through the fast spiral flutes.

This drill bit is intended for use on steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. Its compact overall length and straight cylindrical shank make it a practical choice for close-quarter drilling, small-diameter hole work, and high-volume benchtop operations. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators will find this bit appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC drilling setups, and handheld power drills where a straight shank is acceptable. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling.

Key Features

• No. 67 wire size, 0.0320 inch diameter for small-diameter precision hole work
• 140-degree point angle reduces drill walk and lowers entry thrust
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across common workpiece materials
• Fast spiral flutes promote efficient chip removal from shallow holes
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration improves cutting efficiency at the tip
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose use without coating-specific handling requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for applications involving steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood where a No. 67 wire-gauge diameter is specified.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by machinists and maintenance technicians in standard drill chucks that accept straight cylindrical shanks. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before beginning operation. At this diameter, bit breakage risk increases significantly if side load or excessive feed pressure is applied — use steady, controlled feed rates. Inspect the bit tip before each use, as HSS bits at this size are susceptible to chipping if mishandled or dropped.
