118° Jobber Drill Bit for General Use
The Cle-Line C22745 is a fractional 3/8 inch drill bit designed for general purpose drilling tasks. Its conventional 118 degree point angle suits a wide range of materials including metal, wood and plastic. The jobber length provides standard reach for typical workshop and maintenance applications. It is a practical choice for professionals and DIY users needing reliable hole-making.
High Speed Steel Construction With Black Oxide
Made from high speed steel, the bit offers hardness and heat resistance for extended cutting life. The black oxide finish adds lubricity and helps resist corrosion during storage and use. No coolant holes are present, so the tool relies on external lubrication or air cooling during operation. The straight shank fits standard three-jaw chucks on handheld drills and drill presses.
Steady Cutting Under Continuous Load
Under sustained drilling the high speed steel body maintains its temper and edge geometry better than carbon steel alternatives. The conventional point centres without wandering, reducing the need for excessive feed pressure. Black oxide surface treatment helps evacuate chips and lowers friction during deep holes. Performance remains consistent across repeated cycles in ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces.

Questions about this item
How does the 118-degree point angle hold up under sustained drilling in steel?
The 118-degree conventional point is a general-purpose geometry; under continuous heavy feed in hard steel the cutting lips can dull faster than a split-point or cobalt alternative.
Does the black-oxide finish keep the bit cool enough for all-day use?
Black oxide helps reduce friction and resist corrosion, but extended high-speed runs in tough material will still generate noticeable heat; periodic withdrawal and cutting fluid are recommended.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept for the 3/8-inch bit?
The bit has a straight 3/8-inch shank (decimal equivalent .3750), so your chuck must open to at least 3/8 inch to grip it securely.
