It features a 135-degree split-point geometry with web thinning to reduce walking and improve bite on flat and curved surfaces. The bright, uncoated finish preserves the base HSS hardness without added thermal treatment, making it suited for low-to-moderate speed drilling where coolant is not required. With a 7\/8 inch flute length and 1-7\/8 inch overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance tradespeople alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis jobber-length drill bit is sized for drilling small-diameter holes in steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials. The regular spiral flute and straight cylindrical shank make it compatible with both handheld drills and drill press setups. It is part of the QC21P series, which is a general-purpose line built to ANSI standards. Typical use cases include pilot holes, sheet metal work, and component drilling in residential and light commercial service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e135-degree point angle with web thinning for improved centering and reduced thrust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh speed steel construction for general-purpose use across steel and non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish for straightforward regrinding and reuse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegular spiral flute design promotes chip evacuation in standard drilling conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt to ANSI specification for consistent dimensional tolerancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose jobber drill bit for use in standard drill presses, hand drills, and drill drivers accepting a 1\/16 inch straight shank.
