Value Collection BS260000A Jobber Drill Bit Letter a Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS260000A is a letter A jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, maintenance, and manufacturing environments. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split point that reduces walking and allows drilling to start without a center punch on many surfaces. The fast spiral flute design clears chips efficiently, and the web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 2.625-inch flute length, this is a standard jobber geometry suited to hand drills and drill presses alike.

This drill bit is rated for use in steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood. It is a right-hand cutting bit with a straight cylindrical shank measuring 0.2340 inches in diameter, making it compatible with standard drill chucks used in portable drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling applications. It is sold individually and suits production shops, tool rooms, and field service kits requiring a reliable letter A size.

Installation Notes

Insert the straight shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely before operation. Machinists and maintenance technicians should ensure the drill press or hand drill is powered off and unplugged before changing bits. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Follow shop safety standards and applicable ANSI drilling guidelines for speed and feed selection by material.
