Value Collection BS26N0072 No 72 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0072 is a No. 72 wire gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, aluminum, non-ferrous materials, and wood. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces thrust and promotes self-centering on entry. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.25 inches in diameter, and the overall length is 1.125 inches. A licensed HVAC tech, machinist, or general trade professional working with small-diameter hole applications will find this bit suited to precision work in a range of shop and field conditions.

This bit is sized to the No. 72 wire gauge standard, equivalent to 0.0250 inches in decimal, and is built to ANSI specifications. It is appropriate for drilling into steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood in general-purpose applications. The fast spiral flute geometry promotes chip evacuation during cutting. With a flute length of 0.3125 inches and a short 1.125-inch overall length, this bit is optimized for controlled, accurate drilling in tight or shallow workpieces where a standard jobber length would be excessive.

Key Features

• No. 72 wire size — 0.0250 inch decimal equivalent, ANSI specification
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction — suitable for steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood
• Fast spiral flute geometry with 2 flutes for efficient chip clearance
• Bright/uncoated finish — no additional surface treatment, ready for use as supplied
• Right-hand cutting direction, straight cylindrical shank

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.25-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for use with benchtop drill presses, CNC machines, and hand drills configured for small wire gauge bits.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in a properly sized chuck or collet before operation. Power down and de-energize any equipment before changing or inspecting bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, and replace the bit if the point is damaged to avoid workpiece defects or breakage.
