Eagle Cutting Tool C304-148-D Cobalt Jobber Drill 48

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL C304-148-D is a cobalt jobber-length drill bit sized to wire gauge 48, manufactured in the USA. Cobalt construction gives the bit enhanced heat resistance and hardness compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for drilling ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other tough materials encountered in trade work. At 0.12 pounds, this is a lightweight, precision cutting tool designed for use in standard drill chucks. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators rely on jobber-length cobalt bits for general-purpose hole-making in metal components and enclosures.

Wire gauge 48 is a small-diameter drill used in applications requiring tight, precise holes in metal substrates. Typical use cases include drilling pilot holes, creating clearance holes for small fasteners, and working with sheet metal or thin-wall tubing. This bit is appropriate for both bench drill press work and handheld drill applications in residential and commercial trade settings where accuracy and bit durability are priorities.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction provides superior heat resistance for drilling hard and abrasive metals
• Wire gauge 48 sizing for small-diameter precision drilling
• Jobber length offers a balanced reach-to-rigidity ratio for general-purpose use
• USA manufactured for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard drill chucks compatible with wire gauge 48 cobalt jobber-length drill bits. Suitable for use with bench drill presses and handheld power drills across trade and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople using standard drill equipment. Secure the bit fully in the chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed prior to starting the drill. When drilling hard metals, use appropriate cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges for wear before each use and replace if chipping or dullness is observed.
