Value Collection BS2700025 Jobber Drill Bit 25/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700025 is a 25/64 inch high speed steel jobber drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. The bit features a 130-degree standard point angle with a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that aids entry and reduces thrust in softer metals. A slow spiral flute geometry helps clear chips efficiently when working in aluminum and similar alloys. At 5.125 inches overall length with a 3.75 inch flute length, this is a standard jobber-length bit suited to drill press and hand drill applications. The bright, uncoated finish is appropriate for non-ferrous workpiece materials where coating adhesion is not a factor.

This drill bit is suited for use in metal fabrication shops, HVAC ductwork fabrication, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trade work where non-ferrous materials such as aluminum sheet, copper tubing flanges, and brass fittings require precise, clean-entry holes. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without additional adapters. Right-hand cutting direction is compatible with all standard drill presses and hand-held drills. General-purpose grade makes it a practical stock item for service vans and shop tool cribs.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in aluminum and non-ferrous materials, conforming to ANSI specification standards. Fits any standard drill chuck accepting straight-shank bits.

Installation Notes

Jobber drill bits of this type are installed and operated by machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals using standard drill presses or hand-held drills. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent spinning or movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
