The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 11606 is a Letter F high speed steel drill bit designed for general purpose drilling across a range of common materials. Manufactured from premium grade high speed steel with a bright finish, this bit features a precision ground 118-degree point that promotes accurate entry and clean hole starts. The 118-degree geometry suits most general drilling applications in wood, metal, and plastic.

It is compatible with both stationary drill presses and portable handheld drilling tools.

This Letter F drill bit is suited for trade professionals and skilled tradespeople performing layout, fabrication, or field drilling tasks that require a fractional-equivalent letter-size hole. Letter F corresponds to a 0.257-inch diameter, commonly used when drilling pilot holes or clearance holes for specific fastener and tap sizes. The bit works in metalworking, woodworking, and general plastic fabrication contexts. The 3-piece pack provides backup bits for continuous production or job-site use where bit wear or breakage is a practical concern.
