It features a 135-degree split-point tip, which reduces walking on contact and allows drilling to begin without a center punch on most flat surfaces. The two-flute, regular-spiral design moves chips efficiently out of the hole. Cobalt construction gives this bit the hardness and heat resistance needed for demanding applications where high-speed steel bits fall short. Overall length is 2 inches with a 1-inch flute length. The straight cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks without modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit is intended for drilling stainless steel, hardened materials, and other tough alloys that generate high cutting temperatures. It suits machinists, maintenance mechanics, fabricators, and tool-and-die work where precision small-diameter holes are required. The No. 48 wire gauge size is commonly used for tapping and clearance holes in fine-thread fastener work. The straw finish indicates the cobalt alloy has been heat-treated but left uncoated beyond that process, keeping the diameter accurate to spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCobalt alloy construction for heat resistance when drilling stainless steel and hardened materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e135-degree split-point tip reduces bit walking and lowers thrust required at entry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular two-flute spiral for consistent chip evacuation in deep holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo. 48 wire gauge size at 0.076 inches decimal diameter for fine-thread tap and clearance hole work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStraight cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty grade rated for demanding production and maintenance drilling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard jobber-length drill bit for use in benchtop drill presses, hand drills, and CNC drilling setups accepting a straight cylindrical shank in the 0.0500 to 0.1000 inch diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall this bit in a clean, properly tightened chuck to prevent slippage at the shank during high-torque cuts in hard materials. Use appropriate cutting fluid or coolant when drilling stainless steel to extend bit life and maintain hole tolerance. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or movement. Inspect the split point for chipping before each use; a damaged tip will produce oversized, off-center holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Wire Gauge)\u003c\/strong\u003e: No. 48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Size (Decimal Inch)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0760 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cobalt\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Bit Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heavy Duty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill Point Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 135 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Split Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Regular Spiral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Flutes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlute Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch (25.40 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches (50.80 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straight Cylindrical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0760 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoolant Through\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Workpiece Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel, Hardened Materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\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: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01198480\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51720975712562,"sku":"01198480","price":43.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1047c860d8cde855fe72a8c03ed9dc55.jpg?v=1788571716","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-01198480-cobalt-jobber-drill-bit-no-48","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
