Eagle Cutting Tool J102-204-D Hss Jobber Drill Bit D

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL J102-204-D is a Letter D high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit manufactured in the USA. Jobber-length drills are the standard go-to for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. This bit is sized to the Letter D designation, which falls in the fractional range just above common number-series bits, making it a frequent choice for tap drilling and close-tolerance hole sizing. At 0.15 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC drill heads. Machinists, pipefitters, and sheet metal workers commonly keep letter-series bits on hand for production and maintenance work.

The J102-204-D is appropriate for general metalworking, fabrication shops, and maintenance environments where letter-size holes are required for tapping, reaming prep, or through-hole work. The jobber length provides a practical balance between reach and rigidity, reducing deflection on standard-depth holes. USA manufacture indicates domestic production standards for HSS stock and geometry grinding, which trade users often specify for contract and government work requiring domestic content compliance.

Key Features

• Letter D size designation for close-tolerance and tap-drill applications
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic substrates
• Jobber length balances reach and rigidity to minimize bit deflection
• USA manufactured — supports domestic content requirements
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and tool-changer compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any 3-jaw chuck or collet system accepting a Letter D diameter shank, including hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machining centers.

Installation Notes

Install in a properly rated chuck or collet and confirm the bit is fully seated and tightened before operation. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent movement during drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Follow applicable shop safety standards and wear eye protection during all drilling operations.
