HSS Drill Bit - Wire Gauge Screw Machine Length - No 42 - Hanson

The Hanson 20142 No. 42 HSS Drill Bit is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics requiring precise hole drilling in demanding automotive and industrial environments. Its robust high-speed steel construction and specific wire gauge sizing ensure reliable performance and durability, making it an essential tool for accurate pilot holes and tap drilling applications.

Key Features

• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Provides excellent wear resistance and durability for a longer tool life, even in tough materials.
• Wire Gauge Screw Machine Length: Features a shorter flute and overall length, enhancing rigidity and minimizing deflection for greater accuracy and reduced breakage in confined spaces.
• No. 42 Wire Gauge Size: Designed to produce precisely sized holes, crucial for subsequent tapping operations and component fitment.
• 135° Split Point: Self-centering design eliminates the need for a pilot hole, ensuring quick and accurate starts while preventing "walking" on various surfaces.
• Professional-Grade: Built to withstand the rigors of daily use in professional workshops and industrial settings.

Applications

This Hanson HSS drill bit is particularly effective for creating accurately sized pilot holes for tapping operations, especially when working with smaller fasteners. Its precision makes it suitable for drilling into a range of materials including steel, aluminum, brass, and plastics commonly encountered in vehicle maintenance, machinery repair, and general fabrication. Ideal for applications where precise small-diameter holes are critical for component assembly and secure fastening.
