Discover the ultimate solution for precise wire sizing with our Wire Gauge Drills – Jobber Length 012416. Engineered from high‑speed steel (HSS) and heat‑treated for exceptional durability, these drills deliver consistent, clean cuts across a wide range of conductor diameters. Whether you’re an electrician, HVAC technician, or metal‑working professional, these jobber‑length gauge drills provide the reliability and accuracy you demand on every job site.
Key Features
- Jobber Length Design: Optimized 3‑inch (75 mm) shank for superior chip evacuation and reduced vibration.
- Precision‑Ground Cutting Edges: Guarantees a true gauge diameter with a tolerance of ±0.001 in (±0.025 mm).
- High‑Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Offers excellent wear resistance and maintains sharpness at high RPMs.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for copper, aluminum, brass, steel, and nickel‑based wires.
- Easy Identification: Laser‑etched size markings on the shank for quick selection.
- Balanced Flute Geometry: Maximizes material removal while minimizing burr formation.
