Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added surface hardness and corrosion resistance, this bit is built for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the cutting tip. With an overall length of 4 inches and a 2.75-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and drill presses used in fabrication, maintenance, and production environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jobber drill bit is suited for drilling ferrous metals including mild steel and cast iron in both light manufacturing and maintenance-repair operations. The straight cylindrical shank with a 0.2500-inch diameter seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks. The regular spiral flute geometry provides efficient chip evacuation during standard feed-rate drilling. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly use this size for clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-hole operations on structural and machine components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter E size: 0.2500 inches (1\/4 inch) decimal diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral, right-hand cutting flute for standard drilling operations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits 1\/4-inch chuck capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral-purpose grade rated for steel and cast iron workpieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and machining centers accepting a 1\/4-inch straight shank.

Secure the workpiece with appropriate clamping before drilling to prevent rotation. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point shows signs of damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Fraction)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpiral Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2500 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Cast Iron\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: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01180165\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723452449074,"sku":"01180165","price":69.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/521512bd8af489ff93bddb47a9d985ae.jpg?v=1788605090","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01180165-letter-e-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
