Value Collection BS27N0063 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 63 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0063 is a wire gauge size 63 jobber-length drill bit designed for precision 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 angle and a slow spiral flute geometry that promotes clean chip evacuation in soft and ductile workpiece materials. The web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces the thrust force needed to start a hole, making it well suited for hand-held drilling and drill press work where accuracy in small-diameter bores is critical. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals are the primary users of this size range.

This bit is sized at 0.0370 inches in diameter — equivalent to wire gauge 63 — and is built to ANSI specification. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches, it is appropriate for shallow-to-moderate depth drilling operations. Typical applications include instrument panel fabrication, electronics chassis work, precision sheet metal, and light fixture assembly where non-ferrous substrates and tight dimensional tolerances are common.

Key Features

• Wire gauge 63 diameter (0.0370 inches) for precise small-bore drilling
• 130-degree point angle reduces walking and improves entry accuracy on non-ferrous metals
• Slow spiral flute promotes efficient chip clearance in aluminum and soft non-ferrous alloys
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers required thrust force at drill entry
• High speed steel construction provides durability across general-purpose drilling tasks
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to obscure wear on a frequently inspected tool size

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill chucks and collets accommodating a 0.0370-inch straight shank. Primary workpiece material compatibility is aluminum and non-ferrous metals per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits in this size class is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a compatible chuck or collet rated for the 0.0370-inch shank diameter. Ensure the drill press or hand drill is powered down and the chuck is fully tightened before operation. At this diameter, use low feed pressure and appropriate cutting fluid when required to prevent bit deflection or breakage. Inspect the cutting edges before each use, as HSS bits in small wire gauge sizes are susceptible to chipping under excessive lateral load.
