Value Collection BS260000Z Jobber Drill Bit Letter Z Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BS260000Z is a Letter Z jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal fabrication, woodworking, and light industrial applications. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a bright/uncoated finish, this bit has a 140-degree split point angle and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration that reduces walking and lowers thrust when starting a hole. The straight cylindrical shank measures 0.4130 inches in diameter, matching the drill diameter for straightforward chuck mounting. Overall length is 5.25 inches with a flute length of 3.875 inches. Two fast-spiral flutes clear chips efficiently during cuts in steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, and wood.

This drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling where a standard jobber-length HSS bit is called for. The fast spiral flute geometry moves chips out of the hole quickly, making it a practical choice for softer metals and non-ferrous materials as well as ferrous steel. No coolant-through capability is required; dry or flood-cooled setups both apply depending on shop practice. A right-hand cutting direction means it runs in any standard drill press, mill, or hand drill spinning counterclockwise from the operator view. Typical installers include machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance technicians who need a reliable general-purpose bit in a less common letter size.

Key Features

• Letter Z size — 0.4130 inches decimal equivalent for precise sizing reference
• 140-degree standard point angle with web thinning reduces starting thrust and bit walk
• Fast spiral, 2-flute design promotes chip evacuation in steel, aluminum, and wood
• High speed steel construction handles intermittent cutting in a wide range of workpiece materials
• Bright/uncoated finish — no coating buildup at the cutting edge, easy to resharpen
• Straight cylindrical shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks on drill presses and hand drills
• ANSI specification designation confirms dimensional conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with any standard drill press, milling machine, or hand drill chuck that accepts a 0.4130-inch straight cylindrical shank. Suitable for drilling steel, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and wood per ANSI specification.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or trade professionals following standard shop safety practices. Always secure the workpiece and ensure the drill chuck is properly tightened before operation. Power down and de-energize any drill press or machine tool before changing bits. Refer to applicable ANSI and shop-specific safety standards for speed and feed selection appropriate to the workpiece material.
