Reliable Performance for Everyday Metalworking Applications
The Norseman Drill & Tool Fractional Sizes V-Line Heavy-Duty Type 198 Twist Drill Bit is engineered to deliver dependable, everyday performance for general-purpose metalworking. Proudly Made in the USA, this drill bit provides the durability, strength, and consistency professionals expect—without the tighter aerospace-level tolerances of Norseman’s premium Type 190 series.
Built for Versatile Metal Drilling
Constructed from high-quality high-speed steel (HSS), the Type 198 is designed for medium to light tensile strength metals, offering smooth, controlled cutting with long-lasting durability. It excels in common shop and maintenance materials, including:
-
Mild steel
-
Aluminum
-
Brass
-
Copper
-
Other non-ferrous metals
This makes it a reliable choice for general fabrication, repair work, and production environments where consistent performance is essential.
Precision-Ground for Accuracy
The precision-ground flutes enhance chip evacuation and reduce friction, resulting in cooler operation and cleaner hole finishing. The 118° standard point geometry provides stable starts, minimized walking, and smooth drilling action—ideal for both hand-held drills and machine drilling.
Engineered for balance, durability, and repeatable performance, the Type 198 maintains its cutting edge through repeated use while delivering accurate, quality holes.
