3/8 x 16 NC Toolant HSS Split Point Drill Bit for Concrete Metal Wood

Description

Product Overview

The toolant 3/8 x 16 NC drill bit is engineered from premium high speed steel (HSS), delivering exceptional hardness and heat resistance for demanding drilling tasks. Its split‑point tip initiates clean entry without wandering, while the 118 degree cutting angle maximizes material removal efficiency. The single spiral flute is optimized for chip evacuation, reducing friction and extending bit life. A straight 3/8‑inch shank ensures a secure fit in standard drill chucks, providing stability and torque transfer during high‑speed operation.

Designed for versatility, this bit excels in concrete, metal, plastic, and wood applications. The uncoated finish preserves the steel’s natural toughness, allowing the bit to withstand abrasive environments without premature wear. With a cutting diameter of 7.94 mm, it offers a balance between precision and material removal, making it suitable for both fine detail work and larger pilot holes.

Every detail, from the spiral flute geometry to the split‑point geometry, has been refined through rigorous testing. The result is a drill bit that delivers consistent performance, reduced wobble, and smoother cuts across a broad spectrum of substrates. Whether you are installing anchors in masonry or creating clean passages in metal, this bit provides the reliability required for professional outcomes.

Toolant, a trusted name in industrial tooling, backs this product with a commitment to quality control and manufacturing excellence. The bit is packaged in a compact box measuring 5.55 × 1.73 × 0.79 inches and weighs just 2.89 oz, making it easy to store and transport on job sites. Its ASIN B0C337CR2S reflects its presence in the global marketplace, and customer reviews consistently rate it five stars for performance and durability.

Usage

When drilling into concrete, the high speed steel composition resists the heat generated by friction, while the split‑point tip reduces the tendency to wander on hard surfaces. Apply a moderate amount of water or drilling lubricant to extend bit life and improve chip removal. For metal applications, the 118 degree angle and single flute provide a clean, burr‑free exit, minimizing the need for secondary deburring.

In woodworking, the bit’s precise geometry produces smooth holes with minimal splintering, preserving the integrity of the surrounding grain. The straight shank fits securely into standard 3/8‑inch drill chucks, allowing you to use the bit with both corded and cordless drills, as well as hammer drills when needed. Its lightweight design reduces user fatigue during extended drilling sessions.

DIY enthusiasts will appreciate the bit’s adaptability for home improvement projects such as installing shelving brackets, mounting hardware, or creating pilot holes for screws. Professionals in construction and manufacturing can rely on its durability for repetitive drilling tasks, ensuring consistent hole quality and reduced tool changeover time.
