Built from high-speed steel (HSS) with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 140-degree split point that reduces walking on entry and cuts through workpieces with less feed pressure. The fast spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation, helping maintain cutting speed in production and service environments. At 4.375 inches overall length with a 3.0625-inch flute, this is a standard jobber-length tool suitable for drill presses, hand drills, and CNC spindles running at appropriate HSS-rated speeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bit is suited for residential and commercial service work, light manufacturing, and maintenance trades. Its 0.2950-inch diameter corresponds to letter size M per ANSI standards, making it a common selection when drilling to a specific clearance or tap drill specification. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes in steel plate, sheet metal work, aluminum extrusions, and wood framing or finish components. The straight cylindrical shank seats directly in standard three-jaw chucks without requiring a collet adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLetter M size — 0.2950 inch diameter per ANSI specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle for reduced walking and lower thrust requirement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute design promotes aggressive chip clearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web construction reduces cutting resistance at center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction rated for steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or delaminate during regrinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose ANSI-specification jobber drill bit compatible with any standard three-jaw chuck or drill press accepting a 0.2950-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before running at speed. Always set spindle RPM appropriate for HSS tooling and the workpiece material — HSS bits require lower surface speeds than carbide. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before initiating the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Letter)\u003c\/strong\u003e: M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\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\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: 3.0625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.2950 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\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\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum, 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\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\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: BS260000M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51692182405426,"sku":"BS260000M","price":16.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cdd1d1f2bf9f9cefdfdf8d4be8f9531d.jpg?v=1788294228","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs260000m-jobber-drill-bit-letter-m-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
