1/2" Carbide Jobber Drill Bit

This Westward 5VPD1 drill bit is a 1/2 inch carbide tool with a conventional 118-degree point angle. It features a bright, uncoated finish and a decimal equivalent of .5000 inches. The jobber length design suits general-purpose drilling tasks in a workshop or on a job site.

General-purpose metal drilling

The carbide construction offers hardness for drilling steel, cast iron and other ferrous materials. Builders needing a coolant-through design or a specialised coating such as TiN for extended life in high-volume production should look at alternative tooling.

118-degree conventional point angle

The 118-degree point angle is the critical specification determining how this bit engages the workpiece. It provides reliable centring and chip evacuation for standard drilling operations without a pilot hole.

Questions about this item

What does the 118-degree point angle mean when I am drilling with this bit?

The 118-degree point angle is a conventional geometry suited for general-purpose drilling in a range of materials, providing reliable centering and chip evacuation in a jobber-length tool.

How does the bright uncoated finish affect the bit's performance in practice?

A bright uncoated surface means the carbide substrate is exposed; it offers no additional lubricity or heat resistance from a coating, so cutting speeds and feeds must be managed accordingly.

What chuck capacity is needed to hold a 1/2-inch jobber drill bit?

The bit has a .5000-inch shank diameter, so a drill chuck or collet that accepts at least 1/2 inch is required for secure clamping.
