Century Drill Tool 74126 Lh Cobalt Stub Drill Bit 13/32 in 3pk

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 74126 is a 13/32-inch left hand cobalt stub drill bit designed for industrial drilling applications. Built from cobalt steel, this stubby mechanics-length bit offers additional strength and rigidity compared to standard-length drill bits. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and allows for faster penetration without a center punch. The polished finish helps reduce friction during drilling. This bit is sold in a package of 3 and is suited for use by machinists, mechanics, and trade professionals working in metal fabrication, automotive, and maintenance applications.

Left hand drill bits are commonly used in extraction work, where the reverse rotation of a drill can back out damaged, seized, or broken fasteners while drilling. The stubby mechanics-length design makes the 74126 well suited for confined or tight-clearance spaces where a full-length bit would be impractical. The cobalt steel construction handles harder materials including stainless steel, hardened alloys, and cast iron better than standard high-speed steel bits.

Key Features

• Left hand flute and cutting direction for reverse-rotation drilling and fastener extraction
• Cobalt steel construction for durability in hard and abrasive materials
• 135-degree split point for reduced bit walking and faster starts
• Stubby mechanics length provides added rigidity and strength in tight spaces
• Industrial polished finish reduces friction and heat buildup
• Sold as a 3-pack for job-site availability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition to left hand drill bit sets used in mechanical, automotive, and industrial maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Left hand drill bits are installed in a reversible drill or drill press set to reverse rotation. Ensure the work piece is secured before drilling. Use cutting fluid when drilling hardened or stainless steel to extend bit life and reduce heat. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating rotary cutting tools.
