Jobber Length Drill Bit: #47, 118° Point, HSS

These general purpose high-speed steel jobber-length drill bits for metal and plastic have regular spiral flutes that are best suited for nonchipping hard materials such as nonferrous metals, cast iron, and structural steel. High Speed Steel drill bits absorb more shock and vibration than cobalt and carbide, making them suitable for use in manual drilling machines and handheld power tools. Bright (Uncoated) drill bits can be resharpened and are a good choice when drilling soft materials such as aluminum and low-carbon steel. Jobber-Length drill bits are the most commonly used and provide a good balance of strength and accuracy when drilling into a variety of materials. Conventional Point drill bits are used in most general purpose applications.
