Value Collection BS27N0029 No. 29 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0029 is a No. 29 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) and finished bright/uncoated. It carries a 130-degree split-point angle with web thinning applied to reduce walking and lower thrust requirements at the start of a cut. The slow spiral flute geometry moves chips efficiently when drilling aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. With an overall length of 2.875 inches and a flute length of 1.75 inches, it fits standard three-jaw chucks used on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this bit for general-purpose hole-making in light metals and soft non-ferrous workpieces.

This bit is sized to No. 29 wire gauge, equal to 0.1360 inch decimal diameter. It is suited for residential and light commercial fabrication, maintenance and repair operations (MRO), and production drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous stock. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks without an adapter. The tapered web configuration and web-thinned point reduce the force needed to start and complete through-holes, making it practical for hand-held as well as machine-mounted applications.

Key Features

• No. 29 wire size — 0.1360 inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 130-degree point angle with web thinning for reduced thrust and self-centering entry
• Slow spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides good wear resistance for general-purpose drilling
• Bright/uncoated finish maintains close dimensional tolerances on the cutting edge
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use in standard three-jaw chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and CNC machining centers where a No. 29 wire-gauge diameter is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the straight shank firmly in a calibrated three-jaw chuck before use and verify runout if dimensional accuracy is critical. Power down and lock out all equipment before changing bits. Follow applicable ANSI B11 machine tool safety standards when operating drilling equipment.
