Value Collection BS26N0069 No. 69 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0069 is a No. 69 wire-size jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) for general-purpose drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. The bit measures 0.0292 inches in diameter with an overall length of 1.375 inches and a flute length of 0.5 inches. A 140-degree split point reduces walking on entry and lowers the thrust required to start the hole. The bright, uncoated finish suits standard dry or lightly lubricated drilling operations. Two fast-spiral flutes clear chips efficiently from shallow-depth bores typical of small wire-gauge work.

This bit is sized for wire gauge No. 69 applications and fits common use cases such as pilot holes, through-holes in sheet metal, light-gauge aluminum fabrication, PCB work, and fine woodworking where small-diameter precision holes are needed. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard keyless or keyed drill chucks without adapters. It follows ANSI specification designation and is suited to benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations running small-diameter tooling.

Key Features

• No. 69 wire size, 0.0292 inches diameter for fine small-bore drilling
• 140-degree point angle reduces bit walking and entry thrust
• Fast-spiral, two-flute geometry promotes chip evacuation in shallow bores
• High speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Web-thinned, tapered web design lowers cutting resistance at the tip
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with dry or light-lubricant drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.0292-inch straight cylindrical shank, suitable for steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood workpieces.

Installation Notes

Small-diameter bits at this gauge are typically installed by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians using a precision keyless or keyed chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation to prevent runout. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life. Reduce feed pressure at breakthrough to avoid bit deflection or breakage in thin-material applications.
