3/8 x 24 NF toolant Drill Bit High Speed Steel Split Point Shank

Description

Product Overview

The toolant 3/8 x 24 NF drill bit is engineered for durability and performance in demanding drilling applications. Constructed from premium high speed steel (HSS), the bit maintains its hardness and cutting efficiency even after prolonged exposure to high temperatures generated during high‑speed drilling. The split‑point tip initiates the cutting action without the need for a pilot hole, reducing walk‑off and ensuring accurate hole placement. A straight shank provides a secure fit in standard drill chucks, delivering consistent torque transfer and minimizing wobble. The bit measures 5.59 inches in length, 1.77 inches in width, and weighs just 3.2 ounces, making it lightweight enough for extended use while still offering the rigidity required for tough materials such as alloy steel, stainless steel, and hardened plastics. The 135‑degree cutting angle optimizes chip evacuation, extending tool life and improving overall efficiency.

Usage

Designed for both professional tradespeople and dedicated DIY enthusiasts, this drill bit excels in a variety of environments. In automotive repair shops, it quickly creates clean holes for mounting brackets, sensor housings, and fluid line connections. In metal fabrication workshops, the bit’s high speed steel composition allows it to cut through thick gauge steel and aluminum with minimal burr formation, reducing the need for secondary deburring operations. Home improvement projects benefit from the bit’s versatility; whether you are installing shelving, assembling furniture, or running electrical conduit through metal studs, the split‑point design ensures a precise start without slipping. The straight shank is compatible with most corded and cordless drills, making it a convenient addition to any tool kit. For hobbyists working on model building or custom metal art, the bit provides the control needed to achieve fine detail work while maintaining the strength required for harder substrates.

FAQ

What materials can this drill bit effectively drill?

The 3/8 x 24 NF bit is suitable for alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and hardened plastics. Its high speed steel composition and split‑point design allow it to handle both soft and hard metals with consistent performance.

Is the straight shank compatible with all drill models?

Yes, the straight shank conforms to the standard 3/8″ (9.5 mm) shank size used by most corded and cordless drills, making it interchangeable across a wide range of brands and models.

How do I maintain the sharpness of the bit?

To preserve cutting efficiency, clean the bit after each use to remove metal chips, store it in a dry environment, and avoid using it at speeds exceeding the recommended RPM for the material being drilled. Periodic re‑sharpening by a professional can also extend its service life.

What is the warranty period for this drill bit?

Toolant provides a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. If the bit fails under normal use within this period, contact our support team for a replacement.

Can this bit be used for wood drilling?

While the bit is optimized for metal, it can drill soft wood in a pinch. However, for best results and to avoid premature wear, we recommend using a wood‑specific drill bit for extensive woodworking tasks.
