Value Collection BS27N0005 Jobber Drill Bit No. 5 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0005 is a No. 5 wire-size jobber-length drill bit machined from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 0.2055 inches in decimal diameter and features a 130-degree split point for accurate starting and reduced walking on entry. Overall length is 3.75 inches with a 2.5-inch flute length. The slow-spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation and is particularly suited for aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. The web is thinned with a tapered web configuration to lower thrust requirements. Licensed tradespeople and machining technicians install this bit in standard drill chucks and CNC spindles alike.

This jobber drill is intended for general-purpose drilling in aluminum, brass, copper, plastic, and similar non-ferrous workpiece materials. Its straight cylindrical shank accepts standard 3-jaw drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and milling machines. The right-hand cutting direction is compatible with conventional clockwise-rotation drilling equipment. It conforms to ANSI specification standards and is suited for light production and maintenance drilling tasks in fabrication, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades where non-ferrous materials are routinely drilled.

Key Features

• No. 5 wire size — 0.2055 inch decimal diameter for precise sizing in close-tolerance applications
• 130-degree point angle for fast penetration and reduced walking on entry
• High speed steel construction for durability across repeated use
• Slow-spiral flute geometry optimized for chip clearance in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces drilling thrust and extends bit life
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.2055-inch straight shank, including hand drills, drill presses, and milling machine spindles.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist, maintenance technician, or qualified tradesperson using a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Ensure the drilling machine is fully powered down and the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling non-ferrous metals at higher feed rates to extend bit life, unless the machine setup does not accommodate it. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
