Value Collection BS2700007 Jobber Drill 7/64 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700007 is a 7/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The 130-degree split point geometry with web-thinned construction reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust requirements. A slow spiral flute profile promotes chip clearance and helps maintain cutting efficiency in softer metals. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for standard drilling applications where additional surface treatments are not required. At 2.625 inches overall length with a 1.5 inch flute length, this bit fits standard keyed and keyless chucks with a straight cylindrical shank. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers will find this a reliable general-purpose option for light-duty drilling tasks.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations involving aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. The straight shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks across a wide range of machines. It is particularly well-matched to production environments where light-material drilling is routine and a bright, uncoated bit is preferred over coated variants. The 7/64 inch diameter falls within the 0.1000 to 0.1500 decimal inch size range, making it appropriate for pilot holes, clearance holes, and light tapping prep work.

Key Features

• 130-degree standard point angle with web-thinned construction reduces entry force
• Slow spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides durability for general-purpose use
• Bright, uncoated finish compatible with a wide range of cutting fluids
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cutting direction; ANSI specification designation

Compatibility

Designed for general-purpose use in drilling aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Compatible with standard three-jaw keyed and keyless drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only when the drill press or hand drill is fully powered down and the chuck is stationary. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement that could snap a small-diameter bit. Use an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Inspect the bit for chipping or wear before each use, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage under side-load or excessive feed pressure.
