01012 Multi-purpose Drill Bit, 5/32 X 3-1/8 In., Carbide Tip

The Artu 01012 is a multi-purpose drill bit engineered for both rotary and percussion drilling in a wide range of materials. Its tungsten carbide and cobalt tip delivers exceptional hardness and heat resistance, making it ideal for tough applications in masonry, concrete, brick, tile, stone, wood, glass, fiberglass, plexiglass, and cast metals. The chrome vanadium steel shank provides strength and flexibility to handle demanding drilling tasks with cordless drills, corded drills, and drill presses.

This jobber-length bit eliminates the need for a center punch, reducing walking and ensuring precise entry points that save time and improve accuracy. The special negative back grinding design uses a filing action rather than cutting, while the parabolic flute accelerates waste removal for faster drilling. The resharpenable tip extends tool life and can be renewed using Artu's Grinding Wheel (item #01551).
