Value Collection BS27N0071 No. 71 Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS27N0071 is a No. 71 wire-gauge jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish. It carries a 130-degree split-point geometry with web thinning, which reduces walking on entry and lowers thrust force when drilling small-diameter holes. The decimal size is 0.0260 inches. Overall length is 1.25 inches, with a flute length of 0.375 inches. The slow-spiral, two-flute design clears chips efficiently in soft materials. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this size for precision small-hole work where standard drill sets do not reach.

This drill bit is sized for wire-gauge applications in the sub-1/16-inch range and is best suited for aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous workpiece materials. It is a general-purpose grade bit appropriate for bench drill presses, CNC drilling centers, and handheld power tools with a compatible chuck. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drilling operations. The bit conforms to ANSI specification designation for jobber-length drills.

Key Features

• No. 71 wire size, 0.0260-inch decimal diameter for precision small-hole drilling
• 130-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• High speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance on non-ferrous materials
• Slow-spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in aluminum and soft metals
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating buildup to affect tight hole tolerances
• Straight cylindrical shank at 0.0260 inches diameter for direct chuck mounting

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard drill chucks accepting straight shanks in the 0.0260-inch diameter range; recommended primary workpiece materials are aluminum and non-ferrous metals per manufacturer specification.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a drill chuck that accommodates the 0.0260-inch shank diameter. Secure the chuck firmly before operating to prevent slippage, which can snap small-diameter bits. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing tooling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for the workpiece material to extend bit life and maintain hole quality.
