Precise 11/64 inch carbide drill bit
This Westward drill bit is made for machinists and fabricators who need a rigid, wear-resistant tool for producing accurate holes in hardened alloys and abrasive materials. The solid carbide construction resists deflection and holds its edge far longer than high-speed steel in demanding production work.
Jobber length with conventional 118 degree point
The jobber-length flute provides standard reach for through-holes and moderate-depth drilling without the rigidity loss of longer bits. A conventional 118-degree point centres easily on flat surfaces and starts cleanly in a drill press or rigid hand-held setup, while the bright uncoated finish avoids coating buildup in sticky materials.
0.1719 inch decimal equivalent for exact tooling
The fractional 11/64 inch size converts to 0.1719 inch, giving programmers and inspectors the precise dimension required for CNC tool tables and first-article inspection. Buyers needing coolant-through capability or a split-point geometry for self-centring in portable drilling should select a different bit.

Questions about this item
What is the drill bit point angle and how does it affect drilling?
The 118-degree point angle is standard for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, providing a good balance of centering and cutting efficiency.
What are the exact dimensions and shank type of this jobber length drill bit?
This bit has an 11/64 inch diameter with a decimal equivalent of .1719 inches and features a straight shank designed for standard drill chucks.
How should this carbide drill bit be installed and used correctly?
Secure the straight shank firmly in a drill chuck, use appropriate cutting speed and feed for carbide, and apply steady pressure without forcing the bit to prevent chipping.
