Eagle Cutting Tool C304-149-D Cobalt Jobber Drill Size 49

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL C304-149-D is a size 49 cobalt jobber-length drill bit manufactured in the USA. Cobalt construction gives this bit greater heat resistance and hardness compared to standard high-speed steel, making it well suited for drilling harder materials where conventional bits wear prematurely. Jobber-length geometry provides a balanced combination of reach and rigidity for general-purpose drilling applications. This bit is appropriate for use by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers who need reliable performance when drilling through ferrous metals, stainless steel, and other tough substrates.

The C304-149-D is designed for use in hand drills, drill presses, and milling machines across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. A size 49 drill bit corresponds to a fractional equivalent in the wire gauge numbering system, making it a common choice when precise hole sizing is required for tapping, fastener clearance, or pilot holes in metal fabrication and mechanical service work.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for improved heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Jobber-length design balances reach and rigidity for general-purpose use
• Wire gauge size 49 for precise hole diameter control
• Made in the USA
• Minimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-bit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and milling machine setups used in metal fabrication and mechanical trade service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified trade professionals familiar with proper cutting speeds and feeds for cobalt tooling in the target material. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when working with hard or stainless steels to extend bit life and improve hole quality. Wear appropriate eye protection at all times during drilling operations. Follow shop safety standards and applicable OSHA guidelines for rotating cutting tools.
