Value Collection BS260000N Letter N Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS260000N is a Letter N jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in a wide range of materials. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split-point angle that reduces walking and improves bite on entry. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, helping maintain cut speed in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. With an overall length of 4.375 inches and a flute length of 3.0625 inches, it fits standard drill chucks used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators on the shop floor or in the field.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in light manufacturing, fabrication shops, and general trade work. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks on benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and drill-press vises. The 0.302-inch cutting diameter targets the Letter N size specification per ANSI standards, making it a direct match for applications calling out that size in engineering drawings or job specs. Right-hand cutting direction is the standard orientation for conventional drilling setups.

Key Features

• Letter N cutting diameter: 0.3020 inches per ANSI specification
• 140-degree point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced thrust and self-centering entry
• Fast spiral flute geometry for aggressive chip evacuation in steel and non-ferrous materials
• High speed steel construction for general-purpose durability across a broad material range
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to chip or peel, suitable for re-sharpening
• Right-hand cut, straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without adapters

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose ANSI jobber drill bit for use in standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.302-inch straight shank, compatible with bench drill presses, portable hand drills, and CNC drill setups requiring a Letter N size bit.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and removed by a licensed machinist or qualified tradesperson using a standard drill chuck key or keyless chuck. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped to prevent rotation. Wear appropriate eye protection and follow applicable shop safety standards when operating drilling equipment. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the bit diameter and workpiece material combination.
