Bsc Preferred QJDIB-DB-039A Cobalt Drill Bit 17/64 Inch

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED QJDIB-DB-039A is a 17/64-inch cobalt drill bit designed for industrial-grade drilling in hard, abrasive materials. The 135-degree split point tip penetrates quickly and resists walking, allowing for precise, centered starts without a center punch. A reinforced core construction reduces breakage risk under heavy load. This bit delivers up to 9 times the service life of standard black oxide bits, making it a cost-effective choice for shops, maintenance crews, and trade professionals who regularly work with demanding materials.

This drill bit is suited for use on stainless steel, titanium, hardened alloys, and other hard abrasive metals. It also performs reliably in wood and PVC, making it a versatile option for multi-trade applications. Typical use cases include fabrication shops, HVAC mechanical work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical panel work where hard metal drilling is required. Sold individually.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and operated by any trade professional using a power drill or drill press. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or titanium to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Always wear eye protection and confirm the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation. Follow applicable OSHA hand and power tool safety guidelines when in use.
