Value Collection BS27N0041 No. 41 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0041 is a high speed steel jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge No. 41, with a decimal diameter of 0.0960 inches. The bit features a 130-degree split-point angle with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust on entry. A slow spiral flute geometry and bright uncoated finish make this bit well suited for cutting aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. It carries a straight cylindrical shank with a shank diameter of 0.0960 inches, an overall length of 2.375 inches, and a flute length of 1.375 inches. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance professionals working with light metals will find this a reliable general-purpose option.

This drill bit is intended for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers where a No. 41 wire gauge hole is required. It is optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials and is a standard general-purpose grade bit conforming to ANSI specification. Typical applications include pilot holes, through-holes, and production drilling in sheet metal, bar stock, and castings where a 0.0960-inch diameter bore is called out on the print. The slow spiral flute helps clear chips effectively in softer materials without work hardening the bore wall.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or production-supply jobber drill bit for any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.0960-inch straight cylindrical shank, including hand drills, bench drill presses, and machining center tooling.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with rotating tool safety. Secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck or collet before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. For aluminum and non-ferrous materials, a light cutting fluid or lubricant is recommended to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of dulling or damage.
