Value Collection BS2700009 Jobber Drill Bit 9/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700009 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit features a 130-degree point angle for clean entry and reduced walking on softer metals. The slow spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, making it well suited for materials that tend to load up standard flutes. At 0.1406 inches in diameter (9/64 inch nominal) and 2.875 inches overall length, it fits standard drill chucks and driver setups used daily in trade and fabrication work.

This drill bit is intended for right-hand, clockwise cutting in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous stock. Typical applications include sheet metal work, light structural fab, HVAC bracket and ductwork modifications, plumbing rough-in tasks requiring non-ferrous pilot holes, and electrical trade work involving aluminum panel components. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. It is sold individually and suits both bench drill press and handheld drill motor use.

Key Features

• 9/64 inch (0.1406 inch) diameter with ANSI-specification tolerances for consistent sizing
• 130-degree standard point angle reduces push force and improves entry accuracy on non-ferrous surfaces
• Slow spiral flute design encourages chip clearance in aluminum and other gummy materials
• High speed steel construction provides adequate hardness for general-purpose shop and field use
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect hole diameter tolerance
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces chisel edge resistance at the point
• Right-hand cutting direction compatible with all standard drill motors and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with standard straight-shank three-jaw chucks. Primary workpiece material designation is aluminum and non-ferrous metals per supplier specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with drilling equipment and material requirements. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent bit walking or workpiece movement. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation and verify the drill motor is set to right-hand rotation. When drilling aluminum or other non-ferrous materials, apply an appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and improve hole finish.
