Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating, this bit drills a 0.386 inch (Letter W) hole with a standard 118-degree point angle. The two-flute, right-hand spiral geometry provides efficient chip evacuation in ferrous and cast iron workpieces. At 5.125 inches overall length with a 3.75-inch flute length and a straight cylindrical shank, it fits standard three-jaw drill chucks used across machine shop, fabrication, and maintenance trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jobber drill is suited for drilling steel and cast iron in both production and maintenance-repair-operations (MRO) settings. The oxide finish provides a mild level of lubricity and corrosion resistance during light-duty cutting. The web-thinned, tapered-web construction reduces thrust requirements at the point, making it easier to start a hole without a center punch on many ferrous materials. It is sized for operators who need a precise Letter W clearance hole for tap preparation or close-tolerance assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter W diameter — 0.386 inch — within the 0.3500 to 0.4000 inch drill size range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered-web construction for reduced entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel (HSS) construction with oxide coating for ferrous material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular right-hand spiral flute for positive chip clearing in steel and cast iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.75-inch flute length and 5.125-inch overall length — standard jobber proportions for drill press or hand drill use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank at 0.386 inch diameter for direct chuck mounting — no reduction sleeve needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in ferrous workpiece materials including steel and cast iron; fits any standard drill press, mill, or hand drill with a chuck capacity of 0.386 inch or greater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by machinists, tool-and-die tradespeople, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians. Secure the straight shank firmly in a keyed or keyless three-jaw chuck before use, and confirm the shank is fully seated with no runout. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece — never hand-hold material being drilled. Use appropriate cutting fluid for steel applications to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 118 degrees\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\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\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: 0.3860 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.125 inches\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: 0.12 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: 01189232\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695287468338,"sku":"01189232","price":65.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/f94f541c6595a402f1e7626e1fad2e62.jpg?v=1788333534","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01189232-letter-w-hss-jobber-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
