Value Collection KP65108 Drill Bit Letter G 0.261 in Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP65108 is a jobber length drill bit sized to Letter G (0.2610 inch decimal equivalent), designed for general-purpose metal drilling in shop and field applications. Manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide coating, the bit resists heat buildup and surface wear during extended use. It features a 118-degree standard point angle, a regular spiral flute, and a straight-cylindrical shank. The overall length is 4.125 inches with a flute length of 2.875 inches. Right-hand cutting direction and a web-thinned, tapered web configuration improve chip evacuation and reduce entry resistance in ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This drill bit is suited for use in manual drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling operations where a general-purpose HSS bit meets the material and tolerance requirements. The Letter G size falls within the 0.2500 to 0.3000 inch drill bit size range, making it a common selection for bolt clearance holes, light production runs, and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication, mechanical, and industrial service environments. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians regularly reach for this size in everyday drilling tasks.

Key Features

• Letter G size — 0.2610 inch decimal equivalent for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree standard point angle for general-purpose drilling in metals
• High speed steel construction with oxide coating for heat and wear resistance
• Web-thinned, tapered web reduces thrust and improves chip clearing
• Regular spiral flute with right-hand cut for consistent chip evacuation
• Straight-cylindrical shank compatible with standard drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber length drill bit compatible with standard three-jaw drill chucks accepting a 0.2610 inch straight-cylindrical shank, suitable for drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank fully in the drill chuck and verify concentricity before use. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling harder ferrous materials to extend bit life and maintain hole quality. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use — a dull bit increases heat and can cause workpiece damage or bit breakage. Follow shop safety standards and applicable OSHA guidelines when operating drilling equipment.
