Description
The Irwin Letter J x 4-1/8" HSS Letter Size Straight Drill Bit (40110) is a high-performance tool engineered for superior accuracy and reliability. Crafted from premium high-speed steel, this bit is designed to handle demanding applications in metal, wood, and plastic. Its innovative 135° split-point tip is a standout feature, enabling the bit to start drilling instantly upon contact and completely eliminating bit "walking" for a clean, precise hole every time. With a standard jobber length and a straight shank, this bit is compatible with a wide range of drilling equipment, including portable drills and stationary drill presses. It is particularly well-suited for creating the exact-sized holes required for tapping applications, making it an essential tool for automotive, maintenance, and general repair work. The bright finish and robust construction ensure a long service life, providing consistent performance for all your drilling needs.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- 135° Split-Point Tip: This advanced tip design ensures the bit starts drilling immediately on contact, preventing it from wandering or "walking" across the surface. This results in highly accurate and clean hole placement.
- Premium High-Speed Steel (HSS): Constructed from high-quality M-2 HSS, this bit offers excellent hardness and heat resistance. It maintains a sharp edge longer and can withstand the rigors of drilling tough materials, providing a long-lasting and efficient tool.
- Ideal for Tapping Applications: The bit is specifically designed to drill a precisely sized hole, which is critical for successful tapping. This ensures the correct thread formation and a strong, secure fit for bolts and screws.
- Versatile Straight Shank: The straight shank design allows for universal use in both portable drills for on-the-go jobs and stationary drill presses for more controlled and repetitive work, offering flexibility in how you use the tool.

HOW TO USE:
- Prepare Your Equipment: Ensure your drill press or portable drill is in good working condition. Secure the Irwin Letter J drill bit firmly into the chuck.
- Mark the Drilling Location: Clearly mark the precise spot where you need to drill the hole. The bit’s split-point tip will help prevent it from moving, but a marked spot ensures perfect placement.
- Secure the Workpiece: Use a clamp or vise to securely hold the material you are drilling. This prevents the workpiece from shifting and ensures a clean, safe drilling operation.
- Start Drilling: Begin drilling at a moderate speed, applying steady, even pressure. The 135° split-point tip will start the hole on contact without needing a pilot hole.
- Clear Debris: Periodically pull the bit back from the hole to clear out chips and debris, especially when drilling deep. This prevents the flutes from clogging and keeps the bit from overheating.
