Bsc Preferred QJDIB-DB-037 Cobalt Drill Bit 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED QJDIB-DB-037 is a 3/16-inch cobalt drill bit engineered for drilling in hard and abrasive materials including stainless steel and titanium. The 135-degree split point design penetrates quickly and eliminates walking at the start of the hole, which is critical when working on smooth or hard surfaces. A reinforced core resists breakage under heavy feed pressure, and the cobalt construction delivers up to nine times the service life of standard black oxide bits. This bit is also suitable for use in wood and PVC, making it a versatile addition to any tradesperson's kit.

This drill bit is well suited for industrial maintenance, mechanical, and fabrication applications where professionals regularly encounter hard metals. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors will find it effective when drilling through steel enclosures, stainless fasteners, pipe flanges, or structural members. Its durability under repeated use makes it a practical choice for service trucks and shop environments alike.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point prevents walking and enables clean, precise hole starts in hard materials
• Cobalt construction provides extended tool life compared to standard black oxide drill bits
• Reinforced core resists breakage under high feed pressure
• Suitable for stainless steel, titanium, wood, and PVC
• 3/16-inch diameter for common fastener and pilot hole applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard keyed or keyless drill chucks accepting 3/16-inch shank bits, including handheld drills, drill presses, and magnetic base drills used in industrial and trade applications.

Installation Notes

Install this bit into a compatible drill chuck and tighten securely before use. When drilling hard metals such as stainless steel, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Apply consistent, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Always wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling.
