Value Collection BS27N0026 No 26 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0026 is a No. 26 wire-size jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 130-degree split point with web thinning for reduced thrust and improved centering on entry. The slow spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer materials. At 3 inches overall length with a 1.875-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and collets. This bit is designed for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, fabricators, and general-trade professionals requiring consistent performance in light-duty drilling applications.

This jobber drill is suited for drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous materials in production and maintenance environments. Its 0.1470-inch diameter corresponds to the No. 26 wire gauge designation, making it a common choice for tapping pilots, clearance holes, and precision drilling in sheet metal and bar stock. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups. It is a general-purpose, single-piece solution for shops needing consistent hole size in the 0.100-to-0.150-inch decimal range.

Key Features

• No. 26 wire size with 0.1470-inch decimal diameter for close-tolerance drilling
• 130-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web configuration for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction provides adequate hardness for non-ferrous and general-purpose drilling
• Slow spiral flute design promotes controlled chip flow in aluminum and soft alloys
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for standard lubricated drilling operations
• Right-hand cutting direction, ANSI specification, straight cylindrical shank for universal chuck compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.1470-inch straight shank. Typical applications include pilot holes for No. 8-32 and similar tapping operations in aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in a properly tightened drill chuck before operation. Power down and disconnect or de-energize the drill or machine before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Follow applicable shop safety standards and machine-guarding requirements during use.
