Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers reliable cutting performance across a wide range of shop and field applications. The 140-degree split point reduces walking at entry and requires less feed pressure than a standard 118-degree point. At 4.125 inches overall length with a 2.875-inch flute, this is a standard jobber proportion suited to hand-held drills and drill presses alike. The fast spiral flute promotes efficient chip evacuation. Licensed trades and general machinists reach for this size when a letter-series drill is called out on a print or when a 0.277-inch hole is required before tapping or reaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BS260000J is appropriate for production and maintenance drilling in residential and light commercial settings. Its 0.277-inch diameter fits common letter-series drill charts used in metalworking, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work where precisely sized clearance or pilot holes are needed. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard drill chucks without an adapter. The web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves centering on flat and curved stock. Primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, and wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter J size, 0.277-inch decimal diameter — matches standard letter-series drill charts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree split point reduces drill walk and lowers required feed pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for durability across steel, aluminum, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute design promotes aggressive chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces thrust and improves centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — compatible with standard cutting fluids without coating interaction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill for use in standard 3-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.277-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Ensure the workpiece is clamped or fixtured before applying feed pressure — free-hand holding of the workpiece is a recognized hazard with drill presses. Apply appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous material to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping or wear before each use; a worn drill bit can work-harden steel and damage subsequent tooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: J\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2770 inches\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\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard Split Point, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.875 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.125 inches\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: 0.2770 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum and Non-Ferrous, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification Designation\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 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: BS260000J\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51732549304626,"sku":"BS260000J","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0dc71e3dc697de6707e2d8a5b74d215f.jpg?v=1788744337","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs260000j-jobber-drill-bit-letter-j-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
