Built from cobalt steel with an oxide and TiN coating, this bit delivers heat resistance and edge retention in demanding drilling applications. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and requires no center punch on most surfaces. With a 3\/8-inch diameter, a 5-inch overall length, and a 3-5\/8-inch flute length, it fits standard drill chucks and drill presses used in fabrication, mechanical, and trade service work. A web-thinned, tapered web design reduces thrust and improves chip evacuation through the spiral flutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for production and maintenance drilling in metal fabrication shops, HVAC sheet metal work, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trade applications where harder base materials are encountered. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks. The right-hand spiral flute geometry handles steel, stainless, cast iron, and other tough alloys that standard HSS bits struggle with. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both bench drill press and handheld drill motor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt steel construction with oxide and TiN coating for heat resistance and extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers required drill thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned, tapered web improves chip flow and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute geometry for standard forward drilling in hard and abrasive metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty jobber series grade rated for demanding production and maintenance holemaking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks without an adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a jobber-series replacement or upgrade drill bit for use in any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting a 3\/8-inch straight shank.

Ensure the drill motor or press is fully de-energized and the chuck is secured before inserting or removing the bit. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless or hardened steel to extend bit life, even though this bit is not rated for coolant-through delivery. Confirm chuck jaw condition and bit seating before initiating the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches (0.3750 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oxide and TiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral, Regular\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight-Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered, Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jobber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.69 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: HERTEL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 04138392\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HERTEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730754535730,"sku":"04138392","price":21.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2a7a4bc6d8017e7e04db8d7013d9ae4a.jpg?v=1788722298","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/hertel-04138392-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-3-8-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
