This cobalt bit is a smart choice when you’re drilling hard metals such as alloy steel or stainless steel, where heat buildup can dull standard high-speed steel bits quickly. The combination of a polished finish, cobalt composition, and stubby geometry reduces chatter and edge wear, making it ideal for automotive repairs, fabrication projects, and maintenance tasks where space is at a premium.
Ideal for professionals and serious hobbyists who value reliable performance in restricted-clearance drilling. For best results, use steady feed pressure, moderate drilling speeds, and ample lubrication to keep the edge sharp and extend the bit’s life across multiple holes. When you need a compact, dependable solution for hard-metal drilling, this 1/8 in cobalt stubby bit from Century Drill & Tool is designed to deliver consistent, accurate holes where others can’t reach.
