Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 11625 is a Letter Y high speed steel drill bit built for general-purpose drilling across a range of common materials. It features a precision ground 118-degree point, which delivers clean entry and consistent hole geometry in wood, metal, and plastic. The bright finish reduces friction during cutting. Packaged in a quantity of 3, this bit is suited for tradespeople and maintenance technicians who need a reliable, job-site-ready Letter Y size on hand.

This drill bit is designed for use in both stationary and portable drilling equipment, making it adaptable across shop and field applications.
