Value Collection BS26N0076 Jobber Drill Bit No 76 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS26N0076 is a No. 76 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. The 140-degree split-point geometry reduces walking at entry and lowers thrust force, making it well suited for small-diameter drilling in production and repair environments. The fast spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in shallow holes. At 0.0200 inch in diameter and 0.875 inches overall length, this is a precision micro-drill intended for tight-tolerance applications where exact hole sizing matters. It is installed by machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and multi-trade professionals working with small fastener clearances or pilot holes.

This drill bit is designed for use in benchtop drill presses, CNC machining centers, and handheld rotary tools equipped with a collet or chuck capable of holding a 0.0200-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces cutting resistance at the tip, which is especially important at this diameter where bit deflection and breakage are common failure points. The bit conforms to ANSI specification standards for jobber-length drills.

Key Features

• No. 76 wire size — 0.0200 inch diameter for precise small-hole drilling
• 140-degree point angle reduces entry walking and axial thrust
• Fast spiral flute with 0.1875-inch flute length promotes chip clearance
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting force and reduces breakage risk at micro diameters
• Bright uncoated finish — ANSI general-purpose grade, compatible with cutting fluids

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or replenishment jobber drill for any drill press, CNC machine, or rotary tool accepting a 0.0200-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood workpieces.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified technician should secure the bit in a properly sized collet or chuck before use, ensuring full shank engagement to minimize runout. At this diameter, even minor misalignment can cause bit deflection or breakage — verify spindle concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel workpieces to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges before each use; micro drill bits at this size are not suitable for resharpening in the field.
