Drill accessory for large holes
This Westward 4UM78 is a Silver and Deming drill bit with a 13/16 in cutting diameter. The bit is made from high speed steel and ground to a 118 degree point angle for general-purpose drilling. A black oxide finish helps resist wear during use. The reduced shank allows the bit to fit in standard drill chucks.
Suited for metalwork and woodwork
The bit suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need to drill 13/16 in holes in steel, cast iron or wood using a handheld drill or drill press. Buyers who need a different diameter or a split-point geometry for self-centring should look at something else. The 118 degree point is not optimised for hard or abrasive materials that demand a steeper angle.
13/16 in diameter with 118 degree point
The single specification that decides fit is the 13/16 in drill size combined with the 118 degree point angle. This determines the hole diameter produced and the cutting behaviour in the workpiece. Match both values to the job requirements before purchasing.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 13/16 in drill bit is cutting correctly after chucking it?
A clean, round hole with consistent chips and no wandering indicates the 118 degree point is working as intended in the material.
What comes in the package and is a reduced-shank adapter needed separately?
The box contains the single high-speed steel drill bit with black oxide finish; no adapter is required because the shank is already reduced.
Which Westward 4UM78 variant should I choose for a 13/16 inch hole?
This model is the 13/16 in size with a 118 degree point angle in high speed steel, matching that exact hole requirement.
