Value Collection KP65029 Jobber Drill Bit 23/64 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65029 is a jobber-length twist drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it provides adequate lubrication retention and corrosion resistance for everyday shop and field use. The bit measures 23/64 inches (0.3594 inches decimal) in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle and a regular spiral flute. Overall length is 4-7/8 inches with a 3-1/2 inch flute length. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians install this type of bit for common hole-making tasks.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling applications in residential and light commercial maintenance environments. The web-thinned, tapered-web geometry reduces thrust requirements at the point, making it easier to start holes without center-punching on less critical work. Right-hand cut direction is standard for use with conventional forward-rotating drills and drill presses. Sold individually, it is appropriate as a single replacement or stock addition to a shop set.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic substrates
• Oxide finish coating aids in heat dissipation and reduces friction during cutting
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling applications
• Web-thinned, tapered-web design reduces entry thrust and improves point starting
• Regular spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 23/64-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should install and operate this bit following standard drilling safety practices. Secure the workpiece before drilling and ensure the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling. For metal drilling, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to extend bit life and maintain cut quality.
