Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 018048 is a high-speed steel (HSS) jobber length drill bit from the R18 Series 48 line, designed for drilling into hard surfaces. Jobber length drills offer a balanced combination of reach and rigidity, making them a reliable choice for general-purpose and production drilling tasks. At 0.01 pounds, this is a lightweight individual bit suited for use in hand drills, drill presses, and CNC equipment. It is a standard go-to tool for machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and other trade professionals who need consistent, repeatable hole quality in metal and hard materials.

This bit is well suited for residential and commercial trade work where drilling through ferrous metals, hard plastics, or similar materials is required. The HSS construction holds an edge longer than standard carbon steel, making it appropriate for repetitive production use as well as one-off service calls. It fits standard drill chucks and is compatible with common corded and cordless drill drivers used across the trades.
