Sgs 51037 Jobber Drill Bit Wire 37 Solid Carbide

Product Description

The SGS 51037 is a solid carbide jobber-length drill bit in wire gauge size 37, equivalent to 0.104 inches (2.64 mm) in diameter. It features a 118-degree faceted point with web thinning for reduced thrust and cleaner entry, and a regular spiral flute geometry for efficient chip evacuation. At 2.25 inches overall length with a 1.25-inch flute and a straight-cylindrical shank, this bit is sized for compact, precise drilling in metal fabrication, toolroom, and machining applications. Micrograin solid carbide construction provides the hardness and wear resistance needed for production drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians are the primary users of this type of bit.

The SGS 51037 is suited for drilling operations where a wire gauge size hole is required in steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. Its bright, uncoated finish makes it appropriate for use in materials that do not demand a specialized coating. The 5xD flute-to-diameter ratio supports drilling depths up to 1.0 inch. This bit is commonly used in manual drill presses, CNC machining centers, and turret lathes where a straight-cylindrical shank fits standard collets or drill chucks. Series 101 designation and DIN 338 compliance confirm it meets widely recognized dimensional standards for jobber drills.

Key Features

• Wire gauge size 37 - 0.104 inches (2.64 mm) diameter for precise hole sizing
• 118-degree faceted point with web thinning reduces entry thrust and improves centering
• Micrograin solid carbide construction delivers superior wear resistance over high-speed steel alternatives
• Right-hand, regular spiral flute geometry promotes efficient chip evacuation
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous base materials
• Conforms to DIN 338 dimensional standard; Series 101

Compatibility

Designed as a standard jobber-length drill bit with a straight-cylindrical shank; compatible with any drill press, CNC machining center, or handheld drill driver fitted with a chuck or collet accepting a 0.104-inch straight shank.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this drill bit should be performed by qualified machinists or toolroom technicians following established shop safety practices. Ensure the workpiece is securely fixtured and the spindle speed is set to a value appropriate for the workpiece material and bit diameter before operation. Solid carbide bits are brittle compared to high-speed steel - avoid side loading, interrupted cuts without appropriate feed rates, or use in hand-held drilling applications where lateral force cannot be controlled. Inspect the cutting edges for chipping before each use and replace the bit if damage is observed.
