#42 solid carbide drill bit for abrasive materials
Drill America DMOD42 is a #42 size solid carbide jobber length drill bit with an uncoated bright finish, round shank and spiral flute. The 118 degree conventional point provides reliable centering for general purpose drilling. Overall length measures 2 inches with a 1 inch flute length. Designed for machine use where accuracy and tool life are critical.
Machinists drilling cast iron.
Suited for professionals who need a carbide tool that maintains hole accuracy in abrasive or high temperature applications such as cast iron, high silicon aluminum, copper, bronze, hard rubber and plexiglass. Not for operators who require a coated bit for extended wear in ferrous steels or who need a larger shank diameter for heavy duty rigidity. Buyers seeking a coated or split point alternative should consider other styles.
118 degree conventional point angle determines
The 118 degree point is the single specification that governs how the bit starts and centers in the workpiece, making it the decisive factor for matching the drill to the material and machine setup. This geometry favors general purpose drilling rather than high penetration rates in tough alloys. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Questions about this item
Which #42 solid-carbide drill bit length should I pick for my application?
This DMOD42 is a 2" overall length jobber-style bit with a 1" flute; choose it when you need that reach in abrasive materials such as cast iron or high-silicon aluminium.
What does the 118-degree conventional point mean when the bit is in the chuck?
The 118-degree point centres quickly in cast iron, non-ferrous alloys, plastics and similar materials, giving accurate holes without a separate centre drill.
How does the round shank interface limit use in a pneumatic drill?
The plain round shank fits standard drill chucks and collets but cannot transmit the high torque of a hex-shank impact driver, so use it only in conventional rotary drilling.
