Westward 5UDE7 3/8" HSS Black/Gold 135° Jobber Drill Bit

3/8-inch Split-Point Jobber Drill Bit

This 3/8-inch high-speed steel jobber drill bit is built for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood and plastic. The 135-degree split point reduces walking and starts holes cleanly without a centre punch. It suits maintenance technicians, fabricators and DIY users who need reliable hole-making in everyday materials.

Black-and-Gold Surface Treatment

The black-and-gold finish combines oxide and gold-colour coatings to resist corrosion and reduce friction during cutting. A straight round shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and quick-change adapters, so the bit mounts securely in bench presses, handheld drills or magnetic bases. No coolant-through channels mean external lubrication is required for deep or high-speed work.

Replaces Worn or Standard-Point Bits

This bit replaces dull standard-point drills that wander on hard surfaces or generate excess heat. The upgrade is worth it when hole accuracy and faster chip evacuation matter, such as repetitive production drilling or maintenance tasks in steel up to medium hardness. It is not for buyers who need coolant-fed drilling, carbide-grade wear life or specialised point geometries for composite or hardened steels.
