Eagle Cutting Tool SC400-024-I Cobalt Stub Drill 3/8 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SC400-024-I is a 3/8 inch cobalt stub drill designed for high-performance drilling in hard and abrasive materials. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking at the start of the cut and lowers the thrust required to drive through tough workpieces. The stub-length body increases rigidity compared to jobber-length drills, making it well suited for applications where chatter and deflection are common problems. This drill is used by machinists, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians who regularly work with stainless steel, hardened alloys, and other materials that quickly wear standard high-speed steel bits.

The SC400-024-I is appropriate for use in drill presses, CNC machining centers, and hand-held magnetic drills in both shop and field environments. Its cobalt composition gives it elevated heat resistance, which extends tool life during continuous or high-feed drilling operations. The stub-length format is particularly common in tight-clearance situations where a standard-length drill would be impractical. Trade professionals in mechanical, structural, and industrial maintenance work rely on cobalt stub drills for repetitive, demanding hole-making tasks in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter cobalt construction for durability in hard materials
• 135-degree split point reduces bit walking and decreases required feed pressure
• Stub-length body improves rigidity and minimizes deflection
• Compatible with standard 3/8 inch chuck capacity drills and drill presses
• Elevated heat resistance compared to standard high-speed steel drills

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use cobalt stub drill for standard 3/8 inch chucks on drill presses, hand drills, and magnetic drills used in metal fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This drill is installed and used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians following standard metalworking practices. Secure the bit fully in the chuck and verify it is centered before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloys to manage heat buildup and extend tool life. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before operation.
