Value Collection BS2700014 Jobber Drill Bit 7/32 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700014 is a 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Built with a 130-degree standard point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration, it reduces entry force and improves centering on softer metals. The slow spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in these materials. With an overall length of 3.75 inches and a 2.5 inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is sized for everyday use in fabrication, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments. Licensed tradespeople and general machinists will find it suited to production and repair work alike.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations where a straight-shank, general-purpose bit is required. Its primary workpiece material rating covers aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, making it a practical choice for HVAC sheet metal work, electrical panel fabrication, plumbing fixture work, and similar trades where drilling into soft metals is routine. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for HSS general-purpose tooling at this size range.

Key Features

• 7/32 inch (0.2188 inch) diameter for precise hole sizing in non-ferrous applications
• 130-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• Slow spiral flute geometry promotes chip clearing in aluminum and non-ferrous metals
• High speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters
• Right-hand cutting direction, compatible with conventional drill operation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight cylindrical shanks, rated for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials per ANSI specification designation.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed and operated by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals using standard drilling equipment. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key is removed before starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend tool life and improve finish quality. Do not exceed the recommended speed range for the material and bit diameter as overheating will shorten HSS tool life.
