Built from high-speed steel with an oxide coating, the bit features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking and lowers the thrust required to start a hole without a center punch. The shortened screw machine length body provides added rigidity in close-quarters applications such as drill presses, CNC machines, and turret setups where a standard jobber length bit would flex or chatter. Installation and use are handled by machinists and maintenance mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for production drilling and general-purpose metalworking where letter-size tooling is specified. The right-hand spiral flute design evacuates chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations. Its straight-cylindrical shank accommodates standard three-jaw drill chucks and collet-style tool holders. The heavy-duty grade and NAS 907 specification make it appropriate for aerospace-adjacent and industrial maintenance applications where dimensional tolerance and repeatable performance are required across high-cycle drilling runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter J size: 0.2770 inches decimal equivalent, within the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch size range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces walking and decreases required feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web configuration improves chip clearance at the cutting tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eScrew machine (stub) length adds rigidity over jobber length bits in confined setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets NAS 907 specification for heavy-duty industrial and aerospace maintenance use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement for letter J screw machine length drill bits meeting NAS 907 specification.

Ensure the shank is fully seated and the chuck is tightened securely before operating. Verify spindle speed is appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before engaging the cut. Inspect the cutting edges and web thinning for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if edge integrity is compromised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2770 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\u003eTool Material\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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.6875 inches (2-11\/16 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (1-1\/2 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2770 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\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: Parallel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Thinning\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: NAS 907\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 83238782\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737600000306,"sku":"83238782","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d014ad43f4382eeaace1bc538768b4e6.jpg?v=1788791162","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-83238782-letter-j-screw-machine-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
