Value Collection KP65103 Letter B Jobber Drill Bit Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65103 is a jobber-length drill bit sized to Letter B (0.2380 inch decimal equivalent), designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. Built from high speed steel (HSS) with an oxide coating for added surface hardness and lubricity, this bit features a 118-degree standard point angle and a spiral flute with regular spiral geometry. The straight-cylindrical shank measures 0.2380 inch in diameter, and the overall length is 4 inches with a flute length of 2.75 inches. The right-hand cut and web-thinned, tapered web configuration reduce entry force and improve chip evacuation on standard drill presses and handheld drills.

This drill bit is suited for job-site and shop use across metalworking, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades where a reliable, general-purpose HSS bit is needed for conduit knockouts, sheet metal, bracket drilling, and similar tasks. The jobber-length profile gives a balance of reach and rigidity appropriate for most standard drilling applications. Sold individually, it is a practical replacement or addition to a working drill index in the Letter B size.
