Value Collection BS27N0052 No. 52 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0052 is a No. 52 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in aluminum and non-ferrous materials. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 130-degree split point and a slow-spiral, two-flute geometry. The bit has an overall length of 1.875 inches and a flute length of 0.875 inches. The straight cylindrical shank diameter matches the cutting diameter at 0.0635 inches. Right-hand cutting direction is standard. This bit suits production drilling, maintenance shops, and fabrication environments where precise small-diameter holes are required in soft metals and non-ferrous stock.

This drill bit is rated for use in aluminum and other non-ferrous materials, making it appropriate for sheet metal work, light machining operations, and assembly drilling in HVAC, electrical, and general fabrication trades. The slow-spiral flute design helps clear chips efficiently in softer, gummier materials. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements at the point. Individual bits are sold one per package and conform to ANSI specification standards, making them suitable for use in standard drill chucks and CNC setups accepting straight-shank tooling.

Key Features

• No. 52 wire gauge size — 0.0635 inch cutting diameter for precision small-diameter drilling
• 130-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust
• High-speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose applications
• Slow-spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect dimensional accuracy in tight-tolerance holes
• Right-hand cut, straight shank — compatible with standard drill chucks and CNC collets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in aluminum and non-ferrous workpiece materials. Conforms to ANSI specification standards and fits standard straight-shank drill chucks accepting 0.0635-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Install in a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck rated for the shank diameter before powering the tool. Ensure the workpiece is secured before beginning the cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling aluminum to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Follow shop safety practices and applicable OSHA guidelines when operating drilling equipment.
