This 7/16″ Type 115 Black Oxide Jobber Length Drill Bit is a general-purpose, high-performance tool designed for a wide range of drilling applications in metal, wood, and plastics. Known for its black oxide coating, this drill bit provides enhanced durability, wear resistance, and chip flow through a wide variety of materials, making it an essential tool in both professional and DIY environments.

Condition: New, one drill bit in the package.

Key Specifications:

• Size: 7/16″ diameter
• Type: 115 General Purpose
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS) with black oxide coating
• Length: Jobber length (standard length suitable for general-purpose applications)
• Point Angle: 118° standard point, suitable for a variety of materials
• Finish: Black oxide finish improves wear resistance and reduces friction for better performance.

Features:

• Black Oxide Coating:
  • Increases wear resistance, allowing the bit to last longer, especially in metalworking applications.
  • Adds lubricity, reducing friction between the bit and the workpiece for smoother drilling and improved chip evacuation.
• General Purpose Design: Designed to handle a wide range of materials and drilling conditions, including metal, wood, and plastics.
• Jobber Length: The jobber length provides the perfect balance of rigidity and reach for most drilling tasks.
• High-Speed Steel (HSS): High-speed steel construction ensures strength and heat resistance, making it a versatile tool for drilling in tougher materials like steel, aluminum, and other metals.

Applications:

• General Purpose Drilling: Ideal for use in various industries, from manufacturing to construction, and for DIY home projects.
• Compatible Materials: Suitable for drilling in mild steel, aluminum, wood, plastic, and other soft metals.
• Versatile Use: Can be used with hand drills, drill presses, and CNC machines.

Pros:

• Durable and Long-Lasting: The black oxide finish adds longevity and increases the bit’s resistance to wear and corrosion.
• Improved Performance: The added lubricity from the coating results in smoother, more efficient drilling and better chip evacuation.
• Versatile: The 7/16″ size and jobber length make it a practical choice for a wide range of general-purpose applications.

Cons:

• Not Ideal for Hard Metals: Though it’s great for general use, it may not perform as well on harder metals like stainless steel compared to cobalt or carbide bits.
• Standard 118° Point: May not be as effective for more specialized drilling needs, like high-precision work.
