Eagle Cutting Tool TAC40-024-I Hss Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL TAC40-024-I is a 3/8 inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber length drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling across a wide range of materials. Jobber length geometry provides the balance of reach and rigidity that trades rely on for accurate, repeatable hole-making in metal, wood, and plastics. The HSS construction delivers the hardness needed to cut through mild steel, aluminum, copper, and similar materials while maintaining edge life under production conditions. At 1.2 pounds, this is a solid, trade-ready tool suited for daily use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need consistent 3/8 inch holes on the job.

This drill bit is well suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard jobber length drill is called for. Common tasks include drilling through studs, joists, sheet metal, and pipe flanges during mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. The 3/8 inch diameter is a frequently specified size for conduit knockouts, bolt clearance holes, and anchor pilot holes, making this bit a staple in any trade drill index.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch diameter for a widely used trade hole size
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across common job-site materials
• Jobber length geometry balances reach with lateral stiffness to reduce deflection
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit for flexible procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber length drill bit compatible with any 3/8 inch or larger keyed or keyless drill chuck used in handheld drills, drill presses, and right-angle drills.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should follow standard machining and drilling safety practices. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and wear appropriate eye protection. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
