Overview:
The HSS Jobber Drill is a straight‐shank twist drill bit designed for accurate hole making in metals and plastics. It has a diameter of 3/16" (4.76 mm) and a stated length of 3/16" (4.76 mm). Manufactured from M2 alloyed high‐speed steel, it offers a good balance of hardness and toughness for workshop and site use. Built to DIN 338, it follows the standard geometry used across hand drills and drill presses, making it suitable for cordless drills, mains drills, and pillar drills. The bit is intended for general drilling in alloy steel, cast iron, non‐ferrous metals, and plastics where consistent results are required. Supplied under MPN 902 0657 for easy identification and reordering in trade and maintenance settings.
Key Features:
- 3/16" (4.76 mm) diameter for common clearance and tapping‐size pilot work in light fabrication and repairs
- Stated length 3/16" (4.76 mm), compact for tight access where standard bits may foul
- M2 high‐speed steel construction for wear resistance and dependable edge retention
- DIN 338 standard geometry for predictable performance across a range of materials
