Q: Is this bit sold individually or in a pack?
A: The 81135 SKU is carded and sold as a single drill bit per package. If you require a multi-pack, IR-81135-5 is available in 5-piece carded packs.

Q: Can this bit be used for tapping?
A: Yes. Its precise #35 size and sharp 118° point make it ideal as a pilot hole for tapping threads in metal and plastic.

Q: What tools can accommodate the shank?
A: The straight jobber-length shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks on both hand-held drills and drill presses.

Q: How do I prevent bit walking when starting a hole?
A: Use a center punch to create a small dimple at the drilling point to guide the bit and prevent skate.

Q: Is this suitable for stainless steel?
A: While the M-2 HSS material can drill mild steel and stainless, for frequent stainless use a cobalt or TiN-coated bit would offer longer life.
