The bit has a 118-degree standard point angle, a 2-flute regular spiral flute design, and a web-thinned tapered web configuration that reduces thrust when starting a hole. Overall length is 4 inches with a flute length of 2.75 inches. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.2380 inches in diameter, matching the Letter B decimal equivalent. This is a general-purpose drill bit suited for metalworking trades, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who need a reliable bit for everyday drilling tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for right-hand cutting and is well suited for drilling steel and cast iron in production and maintenance environments. The oxide finish helps dissipate heat and provides light lubricity, making it appropriate for use with or without cutting fluid on ferrous metals. Coolant-through capability is not supported on this bit. It is a practical choice for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general fabricators who drill sheet metal, pipe flanges, brackets, and similar ferrous workpieces in the field or shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter B size (0.2380 inches decimal equivalent) for precise hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling on steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces drilling thrust and improves chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute with right-hand cutting direction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for use in any standard drill chuck accepting a 0.2380-inch straight shank, compatible with handheld drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling equipment set up for straight-shank tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of this drill bit is performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with rotary cutting tools. Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and tighten with a chuck key before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
