Built from high-speed steel with an oxide finish, it features a 135-degree split point that reduces walking on contact and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The Weldon flat shank with three flats locks securely in compatible chucks to prevent slipping under torque. At 3-5\/8 inches overall length with a 2-1\/8 inch flute length, this bit is sized for typical mechanics drilling tasks on production floors, maintenance benches, and fabrication setups. Right-hand cut geometry suits standard drill press and handheld drill operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for drilling carbon steel, cast iron, high alloy steel, high tensile strength alloy, stainless steel, and general steel stock. The mechanics length profile keeps the bit rigid in tight clearance situations where longer jobber-length bits create deflection problems. It is a standard choice for machinists, maintenance technicians, and metal fabricators working with medium to heavy-duty ferrous workpieces where accurate hole entry and clean cut geometry are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces entry walking and improves hole location accuracy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles ferrous metals including stainless and high alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeldon flat shank with three flats prevents chuck slippage under high torque\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned parallel web geometry reduces thrust force required at the drill press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMechanics length body offers added rigidity compared to standard jobber-length bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in drill presses, CNC drilling centers, and handheld drills equipped with Weldon flat shank tool holders.

Always power down and lock out the drill press or machine spindle before changing bits. Operate at appropriate surface footage for the workpiece material and bit diameter to avoid overheating the cutting edges. Coolant-through is not supported on this bit, so apply cutting fluid externally when drilling stainless or high alloy steel.\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: 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\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\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Weldon Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flats\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Length Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (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\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon Steel, Cast Iron, High Alloy Steel, High Tensile Strength Alloy, Stainless Steel, Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 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: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: -20870-G\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698788958514,"sku":"-20870-G","price":19.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/45a5089f2f68e4477d8c462e9cd00db4.jpg?v=1788367948","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-20870-g-letter-g-mechanics-drill-bit-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
