Meet the ARTU 7/16 in. x 6-1/8 in. L Tungsten Carbide Tipped Drill Bit with a Straight Shank—built for precision, durability, and dependable performance in demanding metalworking tasks. This is not your average drill bit; the carbide-tipped point is engineered to resist wear and maintain an aggressive cut through hard materials, delivering cleaner holes and fewer bit changes.
Why this carbide-tipped drill bit stands out
-
Tungsten carbide tipped performance: A hardened carbide tip provides superior wear resistance and longevity when drilling through steel, stainless, cast iron, and other tough materials, helping you power through jobs with confidence.
-
7/16 in drill size, 3/8 in straight shank: Optimized for common metalworking tasks while staying compatible with a wide range of drills and drill presses that accept straight shanks.
-
Long flute length for efficient chip evacuation: With a 3-3/4 in flute length, you get better debris removal and cooler cutting, which contributes to steadier starts and straighter holes.
-
Balanced reach and control: The overall length of 6-1/8 in provides enough reach for deeper holes without sacrificing handling or stability.
-
Carded single-piece packaging: Convenient for storage, protection in transit, and easy retail display—you’ll have exactly what you need when you need it.
Ideal use cases
- drilling through hard metals such as steel and cast iron in fabrication and repair projects
- precision holes for mounting hardware, brackets, and connectors in metal assemblies
- retrofitting or customizing machinery where a dependable 7/16 in hole is required

Practical tips for best results
To maximize the life and performance of this carbide-tipped drill bit, drill at moderate speeds with steady, even pressure and use cutting fluid or light oil when drilling metals. Start with a pilot or center punch to minimize walking, ensure workpiece support to prevent deflection, and withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and keep the cutting edge cool. When you demand reliability and precision from metalworking tools, this ARTU drill bit brings sustained performance to the job.
