Value Collection BS260000V Jobber Drill Bit Letter V Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS260000V is a Letter V jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metalworking, fabrication, and woodworking applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit features a 140-degree split point angle and a fast spiral flute configuration for efficient chip evacuation and reduced walking on entry. The web-thinned, tapered web design lowers thrust requirements and improves hole quality in production and maintenance drilling tasks. With an overall length of 5 inches and a flute length of 3.625 inches, it fits standard drill chucks and is sized at 0.3770 inch decimal equivalent.

This jobber drill is suited for use in hand-held electric drills, drill presses, and CNC drilling operations across light industrial and trade environments. Primary workpiece materials include steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, and wood. The straight cylindrical shank and ANSI-specification construction make it a straightforward drop-in for shops and field technicians who need consistent, repeatable results from a standard-length drill. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general tradespeople are the typical end users.

Key Features

• Letter V size — 0.3770 inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• 140-degree standard point angle reduces entry thrust and improves self-centering
• Fast spiral flute geometry accelerates chip removal in metal and wood
• Web-thinned tapered web lowers cutting resistance and extends tool life
• High speed steel construction withstands heat generated in continuous drilling
• Bright/uncoated finish compatible with cutting fluids and general dry drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit conforming to ANSI specifications, suitable for use in any standard drill chuck or collet accepting a 0.3770 inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by trade professionals including machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics using standard drill chucks. Secure the straight shank fully in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to powering the machine. Cutting fluid is recommended when drilling ferrous metals to manage heat and extend bit life. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace if point geometry is compromised.
