Value Collection BS2700011 Jobber Drill 11/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700011 is a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit designed for drilling through aluminum and non-ferrous materials in light industrial and maintenance applications. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 130-degree point angle and a slow spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup in softer metals. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration lowers cutting resistance at the point, making entry cleaner and reducing walking on smooth surfaces. At 3.25 inches overall length with a 2.125-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and driver setups used daily in the trades.

This jobber drill bit is suited for use on aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpieces in residential and light commercial service environments. Typical applications include drilling clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-holes in sheet metal, conduit fittings, and soft structural materials. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in 3-jaw chucks on handheld drills and drill presses alike. It conforms to ANSI specification standards, making it a reliable shop-floor or field replacement bit.

Key Features

• High speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• 130-degree point angle optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Slow spiral flute promotes controlled chip removal and reduced heat in soft metals
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and improves point entry
• Bright, uncoated finish for straightforward visual inspection of wear
• Straight cylindrical shank compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills and benchtop drill presses; primary workpiece materials are aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit breakage. Ensure the chuck is tightened fully around the straight shank before operating the drill. For best results in non-ferrous materials, use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
