27/64 in Jobber Drill Bit

This 27/64 inch jobber length drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic. The high-speed steel body with TiCN coating resists wear and heat during repeated use. A 135 degree split point reduces walking and starts holes cleanly without a centre punch. It suits maintenance technicians, fabricators and DIY users who need a reliable fractional-size bit for everyday tasks.

Suits standard drilling, not coolant-fed work

The split-point geometry and TiCN finish give good chip evacuation and edge life in mild steel, aluminium and composites. Builders who need through-coolant delivery or multiple coolant holes should look elsewhere, as this bit has zero coolant holes and is not designed for high-pressure flood or mist systems. It also lacks specialised geometries for hardened alloys or deep-hole drilling beyond typical jobber reach.

Handles 0.4219 in holes in common materials

The decimal equivalent of 0.4219 inches defines the exact hole size this bit produces. It comfortably drills through sheet metal, structural sections and timber up to the full jobber flute length. In very hard steels or abrasive composites the cutting edges will dull faster than on dedicated carbide tooling, and the absence of coolant holes limits sustained high-speed runs in deep cavities.

Questions about this item

Will the 27/64 inch shank fit my standard 1/2 inch drill chuck?

Yes, the 27/64 inch diameter equals .4219 inch, which is smaller than a standard 1/2 inch chuck capacity and will clamp securely.

Can I use this 135 degree split point bit in a handheld drill for stainless steel?

The 135 degree split point design reduces walking and is suited for harder materials like stainless steel when used with proper cutting fluid and speed.

How do I verify the TiCN coating is performing after the first few holes?

The cutting edges should stay sharp and show gold colour wear rather than blue discolouration, indicating the coating is reducing heat buildup.
