Norseman Drill & Tool Fractional Sizes Type 240-F Twist Drill Bit
Fast Spiral Performance for Deep Hole Drilling in Soft Metals and Non-Ferrous Materials
The Norseman Drill & Tool Fractional Sizes Type 240-F Twist Drill Bit is engineered for superior chip evacuation, smoother cutting, and precision drilling in soft and low-tensile materials. Proudly Made in the USA, this premium high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit delivers outstanding durability, accuracy, and performance across industrial, automotive, and maintenance applications.
High Helix Design for Efficient Chip Removal
The defining feature of the Type 240-F is its fast spiral (high helix) flute geometry, which accelerates chip removal and prevents clogging—especially in deep hole drilling. This design reduces friction, minimizes heat buildup, and enhances cutting efficiency, making it ideal for drilling materials such as aluminum, copper, zinc, wood, refrigeration die castings, auto hardware, and epoxy-based plastics.
Premium HSS Construction for Longevity
Manufactured from top-grade high-speed steel, the Type 240-F offers reliable wear resistance and exceptional edge retention for extended tool life. It also performs cleanly and efficiently in free-machining steels, brass, and bronze, producing smooth, accurate holes across a wide range of softer materials.
Precision Starts and Clean Finishes
A 118° standard point ensures easy starts and reduced walking, providing precise and clean hole formation. The bright finish further enhances performance by improving chip flow, reducing friction, and maintaining cooler operation in both hand-held drills and stationary equipment.
