5/16″ High Speed Steel Drill Bit for Metal and Wood

Description

When you’re fixing equipment or building something new, having the right drill bit makes all the difference. This 5/16″ high speed steel bit cuts clean holes through both metal and wood, so you can tackle repairs on everything from plow shares to barn doors without switching bits.

What You’re Getting

• High speed steel construction that stays sharp longer than regular carbon steel bits
• Cuts through metal, wood, and plastic without wandering or binding
• Standard 118-degree point angle for efficient drilling in most materials
• Precise 5/16″ diameter for bolt holes, rivet holes, and general fabrication work

Built for Real Farm Work

This bit handles the kind of drilling you do around the farm—punching holes in implement frames, drilling through angle iron for repairs, or boring holes in lumber for shop projects. The high speed steel holds up to the heat generated when drilling through tough metals, so it won’t dull as quickly as cheaper bits.

Made to Last

Farm work is hard on tools, and cheap drill bits don’t last long when you’re drilling through hardened steel or thick iron. This high speed steel construction resists heat buildup and maintains its edge through hundreds of holes, making it worth keeping in your toolbox.

Good to Know

For best results when drilling metal, use cutting oil or even a drop of motor oil to keep the bit cool and extend its life. Start with light pressure and let the bit do the work—pushing too hard just heats up the bit and dulls it faster. Keep your drill speed moderate, especially in thicker metal.
