3/16″ HSS Jobber Drill Bit

The Westward 5UDD5 is a fractional-inch drill bit made from high-speed steel with a black-and-gold surface treatment. It measures 3/16 inch (decimal equivalent .1875) and features a 135-degree split-point tip designed for self-centering starts in metal, wood and plastic.

Straightforward installation in standard chucks

The bit fits any three-jaw chuck that accepts a 3/16″ shank, so no special adapters are required. The split-point geometry reduces wandering on hard surfaces, but excessive feed pressure or insufficient lubrication can still cause premature tip wear or breakage in tough alloys.

Consistent cutting under sustained use

High-speed steel construction maintains hardness during repeated drilling cycles, allowing the bit to hold its 135-degree point angle longer than standard carbon-steel alternatives. The black-and-gold finish helps dissipate heat, yet continuous high-speed operation without coolant will eventually degrade edge sharpness and require resharpening.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 135-degree split point is cutting correctly after I start drilling?

A properly working 135-degree split point will self-centre on contact and produce short, curled chips rather than long strings. The hole should measure .1875 inch across without wandering.

What comes in the package and is anything else required to use this 3/16-inch HSS bit?

The box contains the single Westward 5UDD5 jobber-length drill bit. No additional components are included; you will need a compatible drill chuck and cutting fluid for the material you are drilling.

When should I choose this 3/16-inch black-and-gold HSS bit over other sizes or coatings?

Select this 3/16-inch bit when the job calls for a .1875-inch fractional hole in metal or wood and you want the 135-degree split-point geometry for faster starts and reduced thrust.
