11.8 mm Jobber Drill Bit
This 11.8 mm jobber-length drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic. It suits trade professionals and DIY users who need a reliable high-speed-steel bit for everyday workshop tasks.
118° point and 0.4646 in decimal equivalent
The 118-degree radial point centres quickly and cuts a wide range of materials without walking. Decimal equivalent 0.4646 inches helps when matching imperial tap charts or setting stops on a drill press.
Black oxide high-speed steel construction
Black oxide finish on high-speed steel reduces friction and resists corrosion during repetitive drilling. The bit has no coolant holes, so it is intended for dry cutting or external lubrication only.

Questions about this item
Will the 11.8 mm drill bit fit the chuck on my older drill press?
The bit has a standard straight shank that fits any chuck accepting 11.8 mm or larger, so it works with most older drill presses and hand drills.
How can I confirm the 118 degree point angle is cutting correctly after I start drilling?
A properly sharpened 118 degree radial point produces centred holes with minimal wander and consistent chip formation in steel.
Does the package include any cutting fluid or only the 47358 drill bit?
Only the black-oxide high-speed steel jobber bit is supplied; cutting fluid or lubricant must be purchased separately.
