If you need a larger, jobber-length bit for tougher materials, the HARFINGTON 37/64″ twist drill bit is designed to handle hard metals with less wandering and smoother chip evacuation. It’s made from high-speed steel (HSS) 4341 and finished with a black & gold oxide coating to support wear resistance during demanding drilling tasks.

The fully ground spiral flute design helps clear debris quickly to reduce friction and heat buildup, while the 135° split point helps the bit start more accurately on the surface—especially useful when drilling into stainless steel and alloy steel. With a straight shank (3/8″) and an overall length around 5.5–5.7 inches, it’s a solid pick when you need reach without stepping up to specialty tooling.
Recommended for: stainless steel, mould steel, alloy steel, cast iron, aluminum alloy, copper, hard plastics, and even wood when needed. Not recommended for: glass, tile, wall, stone, or ceramic materials.
Tip: Use appropriate cutting fluid or oil and manage speed/pressure to help extend bit life, especially in harder metals.
