Built on a high speed steel body with a carbide-tipped cutting edge, this bit delivers the hardness needed to work through tough materials while maintaining repeatability across a full shift. The bit measures 3\/16 inches in diameter with an overall length of 4.5 inches and features a half-flat shank measuring 0.2362 inches in diameter for secure chuck engagement. The 118-degree drill point angle is a standard geometry suited to a wide range of materials. Cutting direction is right hand. This size and configuration is a staple in trade shop inventory and field kits alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill bit is appropriate for metal fabrication, mechanical work, HVAC installation, plumbing rough-in, and electrical trades where precise small-diameter holes are needed. The 3\/16-inch diameter is commonly used for pilot holes, sheet metal penetrations, and anchor prep. The regular spiral geometry provides consistent chip evacuation during through-hole drilling. Sold in a package of 10, this format suits contractors and technicians who cycle through bits regularly and prefer to keep spares on hand without overcommitting to large lot purchases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarbide-tipped cutting edge over a high speed steel body for extended tool life\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch drill diameter with a 118-degree point angle for general-purpose use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHalf-flat shank at 0.2362 inches diameter resists slipping in standard drill chucks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegular spiral geometry promotes steady chip removal during drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand cutting direction compatible with standard drill drivers and drill presses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of 10 supports high-turnover trade use without single-bit pricing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose replacement or stock drill bit for trade professionals using standard 3-jaw chucks and keyless chucks that accept a 0.2362-inch half-flat shank in 3\/16-inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall this bit in a drill press or handheld drill driver with a chuck rated for the shank diameter before applying power. Ensure the half-flat is oriented correctly against the chuck setscrew or jaw contact point for maximum grip.
