Value Collection BS27N0046 Jobber Drill Bit No 46 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0046 is a No. 46 wire-size jobber-length drill bit manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a 130-degree split point angle and a slow spiral flute configuration, making it well suited for drilling aluminum and other non-ferrous materials where clean entry and chip evacuation matter. The bit measures 2.125 inches in overall length with a 1.125-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank diameter of 0.0810 inches. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust at entry. Licensed technicians and machinists performing precision small-diameter drilling will find this bit appropriate for production and maintenance applications.

This drill bit is designed for use in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpieces. Its slow spiral flute geometry controls chip flow and reduces the tendency to grab in softer materials. The straight shank fits standard drill chucks and collet holders sized for the 0.0810-inch shank. Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general maintenance drilling where a No. 46 wire gauge hole is specified. The ANSI-specification designation confirms it meets recognized dimensional standards for jobber-length drill bits in this size range.

Key Features

• No. 46 wire size with 0.0810 inch decimal diameter for precise hole sizing
• 130-degree point angle with web-thinned tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• Slow spiral flute geometry optimized for aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for use with standard cutting fluids
• Right-hand cutting direction with two flutes for consistent chip removal

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collet holders accepting a 0.0810-inch straight cylindrical shank, conforming to ANSI jobber-length specifications.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or tradesperson into any drill press, hand drill, or CNC spindle equipped with a compatible chuck or collet. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before use. Always use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling non-ferrous metals to extend tool life and improve hole finish. Wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
