Value Collection 01189075 Letter G Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 01189075 is a letter G jobber-length drill bit ground from high speed steel and finished with a black oxide coating. It measures 0.2610 inches in diameter with a 4.125-inch overall length and a 2.875-inch flute length. The 118-degree standard point angle is well suited for general-purpose drilling in steel and cast iron. A tapered web with web thinning reduces thrust and improves chip clearance, making this bit practical for production and maintenance applications alike. It is installed and used by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general metalworking tradespeople.

This jobber drill bit is intended for right-hand, spiral-flute drilling operations in ferrous materials including steel and cast iron. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks found on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and hand-held power drills. The general-purpose grade and 0.261-inch diameter place it in the 0.250-to-0.300-inch size range, making it a common choice for bolt-clearance holes, pilot holes, and tapping operations in light fabrication and mechanical service work.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.2610-inch straight cylindrical shank; suitable for benchtop drill presses, magnetic base drills, and hand-held power drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with metalworking equipment and safe drilling practices. Secure the shank fully in a properly sized chuck and verify that the workpiece is clamped before beginning any operation. Apply cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace the bit if the point is chipped or the edges are visibly dull.
