Value Collection KP65044 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 3 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65044 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge number 3, with a decimal diameter of 0.2130 inches. It is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating that provides basic surface protection and lubricity during cutting operations. The bit features a 118-degree standard point angle, a spiral regular flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. Overall length is 3-3/4 inches with a flute length of 2-1/2 inches. This is a general-purpose bit intended for use by machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals requiring a precise wire-gauge-sized hole.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic in shop, field, or on-site maintenance environments. The 0.2130-inch diameter corresponds to wire gauge number 3, making it a common selection for clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-hole applications in light to medium fabrication work. The right-hand cut and standard point geometry work with conventional drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling equipment. Web thinning reduces thrust force at the tip, which is useful when drilling harder materials or when feed control is critical.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with drill press or hand-drill operation. Secure the workpiece fully before drilling and confirm chuck jaw engagement on the straight shank before applying power. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or the cutting edges are dull.
