The split point geometry features four cutting edges that prevent the bit from walking on contact, allowing fast and accurate hole starting without a center punch. The titanium-nitride finish reduces friction, improves chip evacuation, and extends usable drill life compared to uncoated HSS bits. A standard shank makes it compatible with most 3\/8-inch or larger keyed and keyless drill chucks. This bit is suited for trade professionals and experienced DIYers who need a durable general-purpose drilling tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is designed for heavy-duty drilling in wood, plastic, wallboard, and plywood, and performs well in soft metals. It is also rated for moderate use in heat-treated or ferrous metals. Typical applications include rough-in drilling during framing, fixture installation, panel work, and general mechanical tasks where a reliable jobber-length bit is needed across a range of materials on the job site or in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point with four cutting edges eliminates bit walking and enables accurate starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTitanium-nitride surface finish reduces friction and enhances chip flow for improved drilling efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction supports use in wood, plastic, wallboard, plywood, soft metals, and moderate use in ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJobber length at 5 inches provides reach without sacrificing rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard 3\/8-inch shank fits most keyed and keyless drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or general-use jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard 3\/8-inch and larger drill chucks found in corded and cordless drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecure the shank fully in the chuck and verify tightness before drilling. Power down or unplug the drill before changing bits. Use appropriate eye protection and ensure the workpiece is clamped or otherwise secured before starting. For drilling into ferrous or heat-treated metals, reduce feed pressure and use a cutting fluid to manage heat buildup and extend bit life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees split point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-speed steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Titanium-nitride\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBit Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jobber length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.11 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.55 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.89 inches x 1.89 inches x 2.01 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DISSTON COMPANY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 293696\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DISSTON CO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696877306162,"sku":"293696","price":37.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ecf31df83820b704884e0c18f4332341.jpg?v=1788347260","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/disston-company-293696-titanium-hss-drill-bit-3-8x5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
