Value Collection BS27N0064 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 64 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0064 is a wire gauge size 64 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, this bit features a 130-degree point angle and a slow spiral flute configuration that promotes efficient chip evacuation in softer metals. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.036 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter exactly. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a flute length of 0.625 inches, this compact jobber drill is suited for tight-access drilling applications. A right-hand cutting direction and web-thinned, tapered web construction reduce entry force and improve point accuracy in production and maintenance environments.

This drill bit is intended for use in aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials where a fine wire gauge diameter is required. Its general purpose grade and ANSI specification designation make it appropriate for use in manual drill presses, CNC equipment, and hand-held drill motors across metalworking, HVAC fabrication, electrical panel work, and light industrial maintenance. The slow spiral geometry is particularly well suited to soft, gummy materials that tend to wrap chips around faster-helix bits. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 12 units.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 64 at 0.036 inches decimal diameter for fine-tolerance hole requirements
• 130-degree point angle provides a flatter cutting cone suited to sheet metal and soft metals
• Slow spiral flute design promotes clean chip evacuation in aluminum and non-ferrous materials
• Web-thinned tapered web reduces thrust force and improves centering on entry
• Bright uncoated HSS construction allows easy resharpening and visual wear inspection
• Right-hand cut, straight shank compatible with standard collets and Jacobs-style chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks and collet systems accepting a 0.036-inch shank diameter, conforming to ANSI specification for wire gauge drill bits.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or qualified tradespeople familiar with rotating cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before operation to prevent bit deflection at this small diameter. Always power down and de-energize the drill press or spindle before changing bits. Do not exceed the recommended feed and speed parameters for the workpiece material, as small-diameter HSS bits are susceptible to breakage under side load or excessive feed pressure.
