Value Collection KP65102 Letter a Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65102 is a jobber length drill bit sized to Letter A (0.2340 inches) and ground from high speed steel with an oxide coating for added wear resistance. The 118-degree standard point angle suits general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. A right-hand spiral flute with a tapered, web-thinned web configuration aids chip evacuation and reduces walking at entry. The straight-cylindrical shank seats securely in standard drill chucks. At 3.875 inches overall length with a 2.625-inch flute length, this bit fits the jobber-length class used across most trade and shop applications.

This drill bit is suited for general-purpose drilling tasks encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades. The Letter A sizing (0.2340 inches) is commonly used for tap drilling and close-tolerance hole sizing in light-gauge steel, copper, aluminum, and similar materials. It is appropriate for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and portable magnetic drills where a straight-cylindrical shank is required. The oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance during storage and use in field conditions.

Key Features

• Letter A size — 0.2340 inches decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle with web-thinned, tapered web for reduced entry force
• High speed steel construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastic substrates
• Oxide coating adds surface hardness and light corrosion resistance
• Right-hand spiral flute promotes efficient chip removal
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit compatible with any drill press, handheld power drill, or magnetic base drill accepting a straight-cylindrical shank in the 0.2340-inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify concentricity before drilling. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Apply consistent, moderate feed pressure — excessive force accelerates tip wear and can cause breakage in this diameter class. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or dulling is observed.
