Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it measures 3\/8 inch in diameter with a 118-degree standard point angle. The overall length is 5 inches, with a flute length of 3.625 inches. A web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduces thrust and improves chip clearance at the cutting tip. This bit is a general-purpose grade tool suited for use in metalworking, maintenance, and repair environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is intended for use in left-hand drill chucks or reversible drill presses and hand drills set to reverse rotation. It is commonly selected by machinists, maintenance technicians, and millwrights for screw extraction work, where the reverse cutting action can back out a damaged fastener while drilling. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard drill chucks without adapters. Regular spiral flutes evacuate chips efficiently during through-hole and blind-hole operations in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeft-hand cutting direction for reverse-rotation drilling and fastener extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction provides durability across a range of metal substrates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces cutting resistance and entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose left-hand jobber drill bit compatible with any standard keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a 3\/8-inch straight shank, including bench drill presses and reversible hand drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove only with the drill or press unpowered and the chuck fully released. Confirm the drive tool is set to reverse rotation before use, as left-hand bits will not cut correctly in forward rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling hardened or stainless steel to extend tool life and reduce heat buildup. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit deflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.625 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\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Left Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\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: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\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\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01220243\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51724014747954,"sku":"01220243","price":19.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/98bb1d40ddf3b35d64ab1236d78d341d.jpg?v=1788611597","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01220243-3-8-in-left-hand-hss-jobber-drill","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
