Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-018-I is a 9/32 inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. Jobber-length geometry balances reach and rigidity, making it a reliable choice for production drilling, maintenance work, and field service applications. The HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for everyday drilling tasks across a wide range of workpiece materials. This bit is suited for use by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need a standard drill size in their rotation.

The TAC40-018-I is appropriate for use in drill presses, hand drills, and right-angle drill attachments in both shop and field settings. At 9/32 inch, this bit covers a common bore size used for fastener clearance holes, pilot holes, and conduit or tubing penetrations in residential and light commercial work. It is a practical stock item for tool cribs, service vans, and shop benches where this drill size sees regular use.
