It features a 140-degree split-point angle for fast entry and reduced walking on steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood. The fast spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation during drilling operations. At 5.125 inches overall length with a 3.75-inch flute, this bit fits standard drill chucks without an adapter. The web-thinned, tapered web construction reduces thrust requirements and extends cutting life in general-purpose shop and field applications. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for this size when drilling clearance or tap holes in ferrous and non-ferrous stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial drilling tasks. Its 0.3970-inch diameter corresponds to letter size X, placing it in the 0.3500 to 0.4000 inch size range. Common applications include metal fabrication, plumbing rough-in, HVAC sheet metal work, and electrical panel work where a close-tolerance hole is required. The straight cylindrical shank seats securely in keyed or keyless chucks on portable drills and drill presses. Right-hand cutting direction is standard for conventional drill press and hand-drill operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLetter X diameter (0.3970 inches) for precise clearance and tap-hole sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e140-degree point angle with web thinning reduces thrust and minimizes bit walking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFast spiral flute geometry accelerates chip removal in metal and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish allows easy visual inspection of cutting edge condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI specification compliance ensures dimensional consistency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with any keyed or keyless chuck accepting a 0.3970-inch straight cylindrical shank.

Secure the workpiece with a clamp or vise before drilling to prevent rotation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend cutting edge life and manage heat. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use, as a dull bit increases thrust load and reduces hole quality.\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: X\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3970 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.75 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3970 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint 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\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fast Spiral\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 Materials\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel, Aluminum, Non-Ferrous Metals, Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 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: BS260000X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707759329586,"sku":"BS260000X","price":26.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/02c72408a84cf2f80d9a3a8fa6b24445.jpg?v=1788442011","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bs260000x-jobber-drill-bit-letter-x-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
