The bit measures 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch decimal) in diameter with a 5-inch overall length and a 3-5\/8-inch flute length. It is manufactured from high speed steel and finished with a gold oxide coating that helps reduce friction and extend cutting life under normal shop conditions. The 118-degree split point reduces walking on entry and allows drilling to begin without a center punch in most applications. A right-hand spiral flute with regular spiral type evacuates chips efficiently during the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for maintenance, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work where a reliable general-purpose bit is needed for on-site or shop drilling. The straight-cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw drill chucks found on corded and cordless drills and drill presses. Web thinning with a tapered web configuration reduces thrust requirements, making it practical for hand-held drilling in confined installations. It is sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of six units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e118-degree split point reduces bit walking and lowers entry thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling across common trade materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGold oxide finish reduces friction and provides light corrosion resistance during storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand spiral flute with regular helix promotes clean chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeb-thinned tapered web reduces drilling effort in hand-held applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight-cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chuck drill drivers and drill presses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit for use in any standard three-jaw chuck accepting a 3\/8-inch straight shank, compatible across corded drills, cordless drills, and bench drill presses used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsure the drill or drill press is powered off and the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and improve finish quality. Do not exceed the recommended RPM range for the material being drilled — harder materials require lower speeds. Wear appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent workpiece rotation or bit breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inch)\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: 118 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spiral (Regular)\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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tapered Web-Thinned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gold Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: General Purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 314\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: IMPORT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22445\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IMPORT-GENERIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51691523113266,"sku":"22445","price":54.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5f8e0e10b168f464b03d301e81e00dd8.jpg?v=1788286463","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/import-22445-3-8-inch-hss-jobber-length-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
