Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating, it offers basic wear resistance for everyday production and maintenance drilling. The 118-degree standard point angle suits flat and slightly curved work surfaces, and the web-thinned tip reduces entry force on harder materials. At 4 inches overall length with a 2.75-inch flute, it fits standard drill chucks and most benchtop or handheld drill presses used in trade and shop environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, sheet-metal workers, and general fabricators who need a reliable general-purpose jobber bit in the Letter C size. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks without modification. Its 0.2420-inch diameter falls within the 0.2000 to 0.2500-inch size range and is commonly used for clearance holes, pilot holes, and light production drilling on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter C size — 0.2420 inches decimal equivalent for consistent hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tip for reduced entry force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for basic corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, two-flute design for efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTapered web configuration adds rigidity along the flute length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 0.2420-inch straight-cylindrical shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove drill bits only when the drill press or driver is fully powered down and the chuck is stationary. Secure the shank fully into the chuck jaws and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life. Eye protection is required during all drilling operations per standard shop safety practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2420 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2000 to 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.47 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 71205942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728194208050,"sku":"71205942","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/94e63885591aa05c2b0e5a7dce82b6fc.jpg?v=1788689310","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-71205942-jobber-drill-bit-letter-c-118-degree-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
