Sized at Letter G (0.2610 inches), it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and minimizes the need for a center punch. The parabolic flute geometry clears chips aggressively, making it well suited for deep-hole applications and interrupted cuts. The bright, uncoated high speed steel construction maintains edge integrity across a wide range of shop and field conditions. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors as well as general tradespeople rely on this bit for metal fabrication, conduit work, and bracket drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit fits standard jobber-length applications where a 0.2610-inch diameter hole is required in steel alloy workpieces. The straight-cylindrical shank seats in 3-jaw chucks and quick-change drill drivers without adapters. The overall length of 4.125 inches and a flute length of 2.875 inches give it reach for most standard panel, strut, and sheet-metal drilling tasks encountered in mechanical and electrical trades. It is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter G diameter: 0.2610 inches, with a tolerance of -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces thrust and eliminates center-punch requirements on most steel alloy stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParabolic flute design accelerates chip evacuation in deep or stacked-material drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web lowers cutting resistance and extends tool life in heavy-duty use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated high speed steel finish allows easy visual inspection of edge condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight-hand cut, straight-cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a jobber-length replacement or production drill bit for use in standard 3-jaw chucks and compatible drill drivers where a Letter G (0.2610-inch) straight-shank bit is specified for steel alloy workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotary cutting tools and applicable shop-safety practices. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Disengage power and allow the spindle to come to a complete stop before changing bits or clearing chips. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the workpiece material and bit diameter as specified by the drill manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parabolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2610 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0010 to 0.0000 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150DH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: CHICAGO-LATROBE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 68976\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CHICAGO-LATROBE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51749243486514,"sku":"68976","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/657d07f29ffd3432223e2f4d93a85d4f.jpg?v=1788903534","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/chicago-latrobe-68976-letter-g-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
