118° General-Purpose Point
Accurate Starts and Efficient Cutting
The 118° point geometry delivers smooth, controlled starts with reduced walking, allowing for accurate hole placement even in hand-held drilling conditions. Its balanced cutting action promotes efficient chip removal and stable drilling performance across various materials and operating speeds.
Black Oxide Finish for Enhanced Lubricity
Cooler Operation and Longer Tool Life
A durable black oxide finish increases wear resistance, improves lubricity, and reduces friction during drilling. This results in smoother chip flow, cooler cutting temperatures, and extended tool life—especially useful during repetitive or high-speed operations.
