Eagle Cutting Tool T500-024-I 3/8 Inch Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-024-I is a 3/8-inch high-speed steel jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The TiN coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, extending cutting life compared to uncoated HSS bits. Jobber-length geometry provides a practical balance between reach and rigidity, making this bit suitable for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics. It is sized at 3/8 inch in diameter and is a commonly stocked drill bit for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade use.

This drill bit is suited for shop and field use across a wide range of trades. It handles drilling through mild steel, aluminum, copper, PVC, and wood framing. Electricians use jobber bits for conduit knockout work and panel drilling. Plumbers and pipefitters rely on this size for flange and bracket holes. The titanium coating makes it a longer-lasting option for repetitive drilling tasks on job sites or in fabrication shops.

Key Features

• 3/8-inch diameter for standard hole sizing across trade applications
• High-speed steel construction provides toughness and heat resistance
• Titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction
• Jobber-length design balances reach with bit rigidity
• Suitable for drilling mild steel, aluminum, copper, wood, and plastics

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit compatible with any 3/8-inch or larger keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting straight-shank bits.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed by licensed tradespeople and general contractors using standard corded or cordless drills and drill presses. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to preserve coating life. Wear eye protection per applicable job-site safety requirements. Inspect the cutting edges before use and remove the bit from service if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
