Chicago-Latrobe 45612 3/16" HSS Drill Bit
This Chicago-Latrobe 45612 jobber length drill bit is made from high speed steel with a black oxide finish. It features a 135 degree split point designed to reduce walking and start drilling on contact. The fractional size is 3/16 inch with a decimal equivalent of .1875.
Practical limits of the jobber length standard
The jobber length design suits general purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic where standard reach is adequate. It is not intended for deep hole applications that require extra length drill bits. The high speed steel construction performs best in mild steel and non-ferrous materials rather than hardened alloys. Users needing coolant fed drilling should select a coolant through bit instead.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 3/16 inch or the 0.1875 inch version?
Both figures describe the same drill bit — 3/16 inch is the fractional size and 0.1875 is its decimal equivalent.
What does the 135 degree split point do when the bit is in the chuck?
The 135 degree split point centres the bit on contact and reduces wandering so the hole starts exactly where you place it.
