Westward #19 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit
The Westward #19 Carbide Jobber Drill Bit is a precision cutting tool built for professional machinists and maintenance technicians. Its carbide construction delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for drilling abrasive or hardened materials. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose applications where coating buildup is undesirable. This bit targets users who need reliable hole-making in demanding metalworking environments.
Capacity and headroom: #19 size
The drill bit handles the #19 wire gauge size with a .1660 decimal equivalent, covering a specific range of pilot hole and fastener clearance tasks. The 118-degree conventional point angle provides effective centring and chip evacuation in typical steel and alloy workpieces. Carbide substrate extends tool life significantly compared to high-speed steel when run at appropriate speeds. The jobber length offers standard reach for through holes and moderate-depth drilling operations.
118-degree conventional point decides suitability
The 118-degree conventional point geometry determines whether this bit matches the material and machine rigidity available. It performs well in rigid setups drilling ferrous metals but may walk on softer materials or flexible fixtures without a centre punch. Carbide brittleness demands stable clamping and consistent feed rates to prevent chipping. Non-coolant-through design limits deep-hole capability where chip packing becomes an issue.

Questions about this item
Will the #19 carbide bit fit my older 3/8-inch chuck drill?
Yes, the jobber-length shank on this #19 bit is sized for standard 3/8-inch chucks found on most older drills.
How do I confirm the 118-degree point is cutting correctly after I start drilling?
The conventional point should produce clean, curled chips and a round hole at the .1660 decimal size without wandering.
Does the bright uncoated finish mean I need to buy cutting fluid separately?
The bit ships as a single uncoated carbide piece; cutting fluid is not included and should be purchased if your material requires it.
