Bsc Preferred QJDIB-DB-038A Cobalt Drill Bit 15/64 Inch

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED QJDIB-DB-038A is a 15/64 inch cobalt drill bit engineered for drilling in hard, abrasive materials. The 135-degree split point tip penetrates quickly and resists walking, allowing for accurate starts without a center punch. Built with a reinforced core, this bit resists breakage under high-torque applications. Cobalt construction provides significantly extended service life compared to standard black oxide bits, making it a cost-effective choice for tradespeople who work regularly with tough metals and composite materials. Sold individually.

This bit is suited for professionals who need reliable performance in stainless steel, titanium, and other hard metals, as well as general use in wood and PVC. Typical applications include fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, electricians drilling through metal enclosures, and plumbers working with metal framing or fittings. The 15/64 inch diameter fits standard drill chucks and is appropriate for both bench drill presses and handheld power drills.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 15/64 inch cobalt drill bit for use in handheld power drills and bench drill presses with three-jaw chucks accepting round-shank bits.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. When drilling hard metals such as stainless steel, apply cutting fluid to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Start at a lower RPM setting when penetrating hard alloys and increase feed pressure gradually. Disconnect power from any drill press before changing bits or adjusting chuck settings.
