Eagle Cutting Tool SC400-024-D Cobalt Stub Drill 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SC400-024-D is a 3/8-inch cobalt stub drill designed for heavy-duty drilling applications where standard high-speed steel bits fall short. Built with a 135-degree split point, this drill starts on contact without a center punch and reduces walking on hard or slippery surfaces. The stub-length body provides added rigidity over jobber-length drills, making it well suited for drilling in tight spaces or where deflection is a concern. Manufactured in the USA, the SC400-024-D is a go-to choice for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and metalworking tradespeople who regularly drill through steel, stainless, cast iron, and other hard materials.

This cobalt stub drill is used across residential and commercial trade work wherever hole-making in hard metals is required. Typical applications include drilling through structural steel, pipe, conduit fittings, sheet metal stacks, and equipment frames. The shorter flute length compared to jobber drills makes it particularly effective when drilling in confined panels, junction boxes, or mechanical rooms where bit overhang is a problem. It is also a common choice for maintenance technicians and fabricators who need consistent, repeatable hole quality in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter cobalt construction for drilling hard and abrasive metals
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust, prevents walking, and eliminates the need for a center punch
• Stub-length body increases rigidity and reduces deflection in tight-clearance drilling situations
• Manufactured in the USA
• Compatible with standard 3/8-inch and larger keyed or keyless drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or addition to any drill press, hand drill, or right-angle drill accepting a 3/8-inch shank bit. No specific OEM compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

This drill is installed and operated by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and general tradespeople using hand drills, drill presses, or right-angle drills. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use cutting fluid when drilling through stainless steel or thick ferrous stock to extend bit life and maintain cut quality. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and gloves when operating. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the point geometry is compromised.
