Value Collection KP65105 Drill Bit Letter D 0.2460 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65105 is a jobber length drill bit sized to letter D, equivalent to 0.2460 inches in decimal. Constructed from high speed steel with an oxide coating, this bit is designed for general purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. It features a 118-degree standard point angle and a right-hand spiral flute with a tapered, web-thinned configuration that improves chip evacuation and reduces walking at the start of a cut. With an overall length of 4 inches and a straight-cylindrical shank, it fits standard drill chucks without adapters. This bit is a practical choice for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade technicians performing everyday hole-making tasks.

This drill bit is suited for light-duty to medium-duty applications in shop and field environments. The 0.2460-inch diameter falls within the 0.2000 to 0.2500 inch size range, making it appropriate for clearance holes, pilot holes, and through-hole applications across a range of trade work. The jobber length format provides a balance of reach and rigidity for use in hand drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit is appropriate for machinists, electricians, plumbers, and other trade professionals performing standard drilling operations. Secure the straight-cylindrical shank firmly in the chuck before use and verify the workpiece is clamped or fixtured to prevent movement. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling metal to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
