Jobber Length Drill Bit 3/8 in

This Chicago-Latrobe 70224 drill bit is a general-purpose cutting tool for metal, wood and plastic. It suits maintenance technicians, fabricators and workshop users who need a reliable 3/8 inch fractional size for everyday drilling tasks.

118 Degree Conventional Point

The single specification that decides fit is the 118 degree conventional point angle. This geometry centres quickly without a pilot hole and works across a broad range of materials, making the bit the right choice when a standard point profile is specified.

High Speed Steel with TiN Coating

The high speed steel substrate resists softening during prolonged cuts, while the TiN surface reduces friction and heat build-up. Together they maintain edge integrity over repeated holes, so the bit stays productive through sustained drilling cycles rather than dulling after a short burst.

Questions about this item

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

The 118 degree point angle is a conventional geometry that centres the bit quickly in metal and wood without a pilot hole, giving clean entry holes in general-purpose work.

What shank style does the 70224 use and what chucks will accept it?

The 70224 has a straight round shank that fits any standard three-jaw drill chuck sized for 3/8 inch capacity or larger.

How much clearance do I need behind the chuck for this jobber length bit?

The jobber length body requires enough spindle travel to accommodate the full flute length plus the shank, so allow at least the bit's overall length behind the chuck jaws.
