Value Collection BS26N0071 No 71 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0071 is a No. 71 wire-size jobber-length drill bit designed for high-speed steel performance in general-purpose drilling applications. The bit measures 0.0260 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches overall, with a fast spiral flute configuration and a 140-degree split point. The bright, uncoated finish suits applications where coating is not required. Web-thinned construction with a tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation. This drill bit is sized for fine-diameter work and is commonly used by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians.

This bit is suited for drilling in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The No. 71 wire gauge size is commonly encountered in precision drilling tasks including pilot holes, printed circuit board work, and small-diameter through-holes in sheet metal or plastic. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders without modification. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and handheld rotary tool use.

Key Features

• No. 71 wire size with 0.0260 inch diameter for fine-tolerance drilling
• 140-degree point angle for reduced thrust and self-centering entry
• Fast spiral flute for efficient chip clearance in metals and soft materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance
• Bright uncoated high speed steel finish suitable for general-purpose use
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard drill presses, CNC machines, and handheld rotary tools equipped with chucks or collets sized for a 0.0260 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or technician into a standard drill chuck or collet rated for the shank diameter. Secure the shank fully before operating to prevent slippage. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing chipping or wear to maintain hole quality and prevent workpiece damage.
