Built from high-speed steel with a bright uncoated finish, it features a 135-degree split-point angle that reduces walking and requires no center punch on most surfaces. The parabolic spiral flute design promotes efficient chip evacuation, and the web-thinned tip reduces thrust during entry. At 5 inches overall length with a 3-5\/8-inch flute length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and drill presses used daily in trade and fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is suited for drilling steel, stainless steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, superalloys, and titanium. It is appropriate for both shop and field use where a reliable general-purpose bit is needed. The straight cylindrical shank accepts standard three-jaw chucks without adapters. Machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and electricians commonly reach for this size and style when drilling through structural steel, pipe, conduit straps, and plate stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point angle reduces bit walking and center-punch dependency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction handles steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParabolic spiral flute with web thinning promotes chip clearing and reduces feed force\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish suits a broad range of workpiece materials without coating interference\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ANSI standards for jobber-length drill bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit jobber-length drill bit for use in standard three-jaw chucks on hand drills, drill presses, and milling machines accepting a 3\/8-inch straight shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall in a properly rated drill chuck and tighten securely before use. Power down and de-energize all equipment before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel, superalloys, or titanium to extend bit life and maintain dimensional accuracy.
