Value Collection BS2700027 Jobber Drill Bit 27/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS2700027 is a 27/64-inch high speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Built to ANSI specification, it features a 130-degree standard point angle and a slow spiral flute geometry that promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer metals. The bright, uncoated finish keeps surface hardness consistent without added coating complexity. With an overall length of 5.375 inches and a flute length of 3.9375 inches, it fits standard drill chucks across benchtop drill presses and handheld power tools. This bit is suited for machinists, fabricators, and trade professionals who need a reliable general-purpose drill for non-ferrous stock.

This jobber drill bit is intended for use in aluminum, copper, brass, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. Its slow spiral flute design is particularly effective where chip control is critical in softer, gummy materials that tend to load up standard flute geometries. The straight cylindrical shank provides a secure grip in standard three-jaw chucks. It is appropriate for both machine and hand-drill applications in shop, field, or light manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• 27/64-inch diameter (0.4219 inches decimal) for precise hole sizing in non-ferrous stock
• 130-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced thrust
• Slow spiral flute geometry optimized for chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose durability without specialized coating
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating delamination risk during regrinding
• Right-hand cutting direction with straight cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose ANSI-specification jobber drill bit suitable for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, milling machines, and handheld power drills. Primary workpiece material compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous metals.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with drill press or power-tool operation. Always secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and verify chuck engagement on the straight shank before powering the tool. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubrication when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or damage before each use and regrind or replace as needed.
