Value Collection BS27N0020 Jobber Drill 20 Wire Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0020 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge 20 (0.1610 inches decimal) for use in general-purpose drilling applications. Built with a 130-degree split point and a slow spiral flute geometry, this bit enters material quickly and clears chips efficiently in softer workpiece materials. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust force at the point, making it well suited for hand-fed or light-duty machine drilling. The bright, uncoated finish keeps cost low on a consumable tool that sees frequent replacement in production and field environments. At 3.25 inches overall length with a 2.125-inch flute, it fits standard drill chucks without an adapter.

This drill bit is designed for cutting aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals where a slow spiral angle promotes clean entry and reduces material smearing or work-hardening. It is equally usable on plastics and softer composites. The straight cylindrical shank accepts any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck. Machinists, sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians drilling sheet pan or light gauge metal, and general maintenance tradespeople will find this bit appropriate for everyday production drilling tasks.

Key Features

• Wire gauge 20 (0.1610 inch) diameter with matching 0.1610-inch straight cylindrical shank for true-running concentricity
• 130-degree standard point angle reduces walking on flat metal surfaces
• Slow spiral flute promotes chip clearance in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers axial thrust and extends cutting edge life
• Bright, uncoated high speed steel finish — no coating buildup to affect hole tolerance
• ANSI specification designation ensures dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose OEM-style jobber drill for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.1610-inch straight cylindrical shank; primary application is aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill press, mill, or hand drill fully powered down and the chuck key removed from the chuck. Secure the shank fully into the chuck jaws and tighten evenly before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to improve hole finish and extend bit life. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection any time this bit is in use.
