Eagle Cutting Tool SC404-149-D Cobalt Stub Drill Size 49

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SC404-149-D is a size 49 cobalt stub drill manufactured in the USA. Stub drills, also called screw machine length drills, feature a shorter flute length than jobber drills, providing increased rigidity and reduced deflection in tight-clearance applications. The cobalt construction improves heat resistance and wear life compared to standard high-speed steel, making this bit well suited for drilling harder metals and work materials that generate significant cutting heat. Licensed tradespeople and machinists reach for this type of drill when working in drill presses, lathes, and CNC setups where spindle clearance is limited.

The SC404-149-D is appropriate for use in metal fabrication, plumbing rough-in, electrical box and panel work, and HVAC sheet metal applications where a wire-gauge size 49 hole is required. Its short, stiff body gives the operator better control in hand-held drill situations as well, particularly when starting holes in curved or angled surfaces. Domestic manufacture ensures consistent dimensional tolerances expected by production and service technicians alike.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction for improved heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Stub length design increases rigidity and reduces bit deflection during drilling
• Wire gauge size 49 diameter for precise, application-specific hole sizing
• Manufactured in the USA for consistent dimensional tolerances
• Minimum order quantity of 1 — available as a single bit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock cobalt stub drill compatible with any 3-jaw drill chuck or collet system accepting wire-gauge drill sizes.

Installation Notes

Install and remove drill bits only with the drill press, lathe, or hand tool fully powered down and secured. Ensure the chuck or collet is properly tightened before operation to prevent bit slippage or breakage. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection any time drilling operations are performed.
