Value Collection BS2700012 3/16 in Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700012 is a 3/16 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a range of materials. The bit features a 130-degree split point angle, a slow spiral flute configuration, and a bright uncoated finish. With an overall length of 3.5 inches and a flute length of 2.3125 inches, this drill bit is sized for standard jobber-length applications. The straight cylindrical shank is compatible with conventional drill chucks. It is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade professionals who require a reliable, non-coated HSS bit for light to medium drilling work.

This bit is suited for drilling aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and similar soft to medium-hardness materials in residential and light commercial applications. The slow spiral flute geometry is optimized for non-ferrous workpiece materials where chip evacuation and cutting efficiency in softer stock are priorities. The 130-degree point angle provides a self-centering entry without requiring a pilot hole in most applications. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust force at the point of entry.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) diameter, ANSI-specification jobber drill bit
• 130-degree standard point angle with web thinning for reduced entry thrust
• High speed steel construction for durability in general-purpose drilling
• Slow spiral flute optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating buildup to interfere with cutting geometry
• Right-hand cutting direction with straight cylindrical shank for standard chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks. Suitable for use in bench drills, hand drills, and drill presses across a wide range of trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install the shank fully and securely into the drill chuck before operation and confirm chuck key is removed before powering the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Allow the bit to cool between extended drilling operations to prevent heat buildup that can reduce HSS hardness. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when operating any rotary cutting tool.
