Built from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added lubricity and surface protection, it features a standard 118-degree point angle and a two-flute regular spiral configuration with a web-thinned, tapered web for improved chip evacuation and easier starting. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.2720 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and general tradespeople, this bit covers a wide range of light-to-medium drilling applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for production and maintenance environments where Letter I sizing is required, such as tap drilling, clearance hole work, or general fabrication tasks. It fits into the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch decimal size range, making it a practical choice for shops that need consistent, repeatable hole sizing in that bracket. The right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and hand-drill operation. Each unit is sold individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter I size with 0.2720-inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned tapered web for clean starts and efficient chip clearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction rated for general-purpose drilling across multiple materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOxide coating provides surface lubricity and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, two-flute design with 2.875-inch flute length for effective chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks\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 drill press, hand drill, or milling machine chuck sized to accept a 0.2720-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 power tool is fully powered down and the chuck has stopped.
