9/32" HSS Jobber Drill Bit

This Westward drill bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish for general-purpose drilling. The 118-degree conventional point angle suits a wide range of materials including metal, wood, and plastic. It is designed for trade professionals and maintenance technicians who require a reliable fractional-inch bit.

Black Oxide Finish Benefits

The black oxide surface treatment helps reduce friction and chip welding during operation. This coating also provides a degree of corrosion resistance compared to uncoated bright-finish bits. The conventional point geometry allows for easy resharpening on standard equipment without specialised tooling.

Suited For General Workshop Use

This fractional 9/32 inch bit suits machinists and fabricators drilling standard clearance or tap holes in ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Users requiring coolant-through capability or specialised point geometries such as split-point or brad-point designs should select an alternative bit style.

Questions about this item

When will the 118-degree conventional point on this 9/32" HSS bit need resharpening or replacement?

Resharpen when the cutting lips show visible rounding or the bit walks on centre-punch marks; high-speed steel takes many resharpenings before the flute length is exhausted.

What limits continuous drilling with this black-oxide jobber bit before it must cool?

Heat buildup at the 118-degree tip is the first limit; withdraw frequently to clear chips and let the high-speed steel dissipate temperature.

How hot or noisy does this 0.2813-inch drill bit get during all-day use?

The bit itself runs warm to the touch and produces typical high-speed steel drilling noise; no internal fan or motor contributes additional heat or sound.
