This bit cuts a 5/16 inch hole using a conventional 118-degree point angle suited for steel and cast iron. It will not fit spindles requiring a different Morse taper number or a straight shank.

Questions about this item

What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I start drilling?

The 118-degree point is a conventional geometry that centres itself quickly in steel and cast iron, giving a clean entry without a pilot hole.

How does the #1 Morse taper shank limit the machines I can use?

The #1 Morse taper fits directly into a matching #1 MT socket on drill presses or tailstocks; it will not seat in larger or smaller tapers without an adapter.
