Value Collection BS2700019 Jobber Drill Bit 19/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700019 is a high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. It features a 19/64 inch (0.2969 inch) diameter with a 130-degree split point and a slow spiral flute geometry that promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup in softer metals. The bright, uncoated finish is standard for general shop use. At 4.375 inches overall length with a 3.0625 inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks without modification. It is compatible with most benchtop and handheld drilling equipment used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance trades.

This drill bit is suited for drilling aluminum, brass, copper, plastics, and other non-ferrous workpieces in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and milling machines. The slow spiral design is particularly effective when drilling soft, gummy metals where faster-spiral bits may load up or grab. Web thinning on the point reduces thrust force and improves centering at entry.

Key Features

• 19/64 inch diameter (0.2969 inch decimal) sized to ANSI specification
• 130-degree standard point angle for reduced thrust and accurate entry
• High speed steel construction for durability across repeated use
• Slow spiral flute geometry optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces centering effort
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating degradation risk during regrinding
• Right-hand cutting direction; compatible with standard drill rotation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Straight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks across a wide range of handheld and stationary drilling equipment.

Installation Notes

Machinists and maintenance technicians should secure the straight shank fully within the chuck jaws before tightening to prevent slippage and runout. Power down and disconnect the drill or press before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to reduce built-up edge on the flutes. Inspect the point for wear or chipping before each use, as a dull or damaged point increases thrust force and reduces hole quality.
