Value Collection BS27N0030 No. 30 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0030 is a No. 30 wire-size jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) and finished bright with no coating. It measures 0.1285 inches in diameter with a 1.625-inch flute length and a 2.75-inch overall length. The 130-degree split point reduces walking on entry, and the slow spiral flute geometry is optimized for chip evacuation when drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. A tapered web with web thinning lowers thrust requirements and keeps the point centered. This bit ships individually and is a general-purpose cutting tool sized to ANSI standards.

This drill bit is suited for use in light-duty drill presses, hand drills, and CNC equipment where a No. 30 wire-gauge hole is required. Its primary application is drilling aluminum, copper, brass, plastic, and other non-ferrous workpieces in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments. The straight cylindrical shank seats in standard chucks without adapters, making it compatible with the tooling found in most trade and shop settings. HVAC, electrical, and sheet-metal technicians commonly use wire-gauge bits in this size range for pilot holes and conduit knockout work.

Key Features

• No. 30 wire size, 0.1285-inch diameter ground to ANSI specification
• 130-degree point angle with web thinning reduces entry thrust and prevents walking
• Slow spiral flute design promotes efficient chip clearing in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction provides consistent hardness across the full cutting edge
• Bright uncoated finish for easy visual wear inspection during service life
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck that accepts a 0.1285-inch straight shank, including hand drills, drill presses, and CNC spindles working with aluminum and non-ferrous workpieces.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified trade technician should secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured. Disconnect or power down the drilling equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or air blast when drilling aluminum at higher feed rates to extend tool life. Refer to the equipment manufacturer's speed-and-feed charts for recommended RPM at this diameter.
