Built for cutting through metal substrates, this bit is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a reliable bit for on-the-job metal drilling. The black finish is typical of oxide-coated bits, which provide a degree of corrosion resistance and reduced friction during use. It is sized at 3\/8 inch diameter, a common size for conduit knockouts, pipe penetrations, and structural metal work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings where metal drilling is required. Common applications include drilling through sheet metal, light-gauge steel framing, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment panels. It is intended for use with standard 3\/8 inch or larger chuck power drills and drill presses. Tradespeople across multiple disciplines keep this size on hand for routine penetration and fastener prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch diameter for common metal drilling tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard 3\/8 inch and larger drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuited for sheet metal, light-gauge steel, and electrical enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8 inch metal drill bit compatible with 3\/8 inch and larger keyed or keyless drill chucks used in hand drills and drill presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit should be installed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with metal drilling practices. Always secure the workpiece before drilling and wear appropriate eye protection. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through thicker metal stock to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Ensure the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully tightened before beginning any drilling operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STEWART FASTENER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: US5-3\/8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STEWART FASTENER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51344155476274,"sku":"US5-3\/8","price":28.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553001.jpg?v=1782030555","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/stewart-fastener-us5-3-8-3-8-inch-metal-drill-bit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
