Drill Bit for General Purpose Drilling
This Westward jobber drill bit is made from cobalt steel with a straw bronze finish. The split point design helps to start holes accurately without wandering. It is suited for drilling in metal, wood, and plastic materials. The right hand cutting direction matches standard drill chucks.
Build Quality and Shank Compatibility
Cobalt steel construction provides resistance to heat and wear during extended use. The shank diameter matches the 3/32 inch drill size for a secure fit in standard three jaw chucks. The conventional point angle of 143 degrees supports general purpose drilling tasks. The straw bronze finish helps identify the tool and adds corrosion resistance.
Check Chuck Capacity and Material Suitability
Verify that your drill chuck accepts a 3/32 inch shank before ordering. The overall length is 2-1/4 inches with a flute length of 1-1/4 inches. This bit does not feature coolant through capability. Buyers needing larger diameter holes or specialised point geometries should consider other options.

Questions about this item
What point angle does the 3/32" cobalt drill bit use and how does it affect starting?
The 143-degree split point centres the bit without a centre punch and reduces walking on hard metals.
What shank diameter and overall length does the 3/32" jobber bit have so it fits my drill chuck?
Shank diameter is 3/32" and overall length is 2-1/4", matching standard jobber dimensions for three-jaw chucks.
How do I install the cobalt bit correctly and what common mistake should I avoid?
Insert the straight shank fully into the chuck, tighten all three jaws evenly, and avoid over-speeding — cobalt needs lower RPM than high-speed steel.
