Extra Long #3 HSS Drill Bit 11127
This Chicago-Latrobe drill bit is made from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts holes cleanly without a centre punch. Its extra-long design reaches a maximum drilling depth of two and a half inches. It suits wire-gauge #3 holes in metal and wood.
28-Degree Helix and 4xD Geometry
The 28-degree helix angle improves chip evacuation in deep holes, lowering heat build-up during extended cuts. A 4xD length-to-diameter ratio provides rigidity for accurate drilling without excessive deflection. Builders needing shorter bits or larger diameters will need a different tool. Users requiring cobalt or carbide grades should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
Will the 135° split point need re-sharpening after extended drilling in high-performance alloys?
The 135° split point on this high-speed steel bit resists dulling in tough materials, but heavy use in machining-grade alloys will eventually require professional re-grinding to restore the original geometry.
At what point does the 28° helix angle limit chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling?
The 28° helix angle is optimised for the 2 1/2 in maximum drilling depth at 4xD; pushing beyond that depth in wire-size holes risks chip packing and reduced cutting efficiency.
