Built from high speed steel (HSS) with a steam oxide finish, this bit features a 135-degree split point for self-centering starts and reduced walking on entry. The straight shank and 3\/8-inch diameter make it compatible with standard drill chucks. With a spiral flute design and 2.5XD cutting depth rating, it removes chips efficiently during operation. This bit is suited for professional use in metal fabrication, maintenance, and general trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis stub drill bit is intended for use in metalworking and industrial trade environments where a shorter overall length provides added rigidity and better hole accuracy. The 89 mm overall length and 43 mm flute length make it well suited for applications where standard-length bits flex or chatter. Applicable materials include aluminum, cast iron, copper, hard materials, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, steel, synthetic materials, and titanium. It is sold as a single-piece unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split point for self-centering entry and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHSS construction with steam oxide finish for corrosion resistance and heat tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShort stub length increases rigidity and reduces deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-flute spiral design promotes efficient chip evacuation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction, straight shank for standard chuck compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo coolant channel — dry cutting application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style stub drill bit replacement for use in standard 3\/8-inch straight-shank drill chucks across metalworking and industrial trade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is installed by licensed machinists, electricians, pipefitters, and general trade professionals using standard drill presses or handheld power drills with compatible chuck sizes. Ensure the drill is powered off and unplugged before changing bits. Secure the shank fully in the chuck before operation to prevent slippage or runout.
