The Sutton D1010238 is an imperial-sized HSS jobber drill, 3/32″ (2.38mm) on a parallel shank. Cut to the imperial size class so it matches UNC/UNF tap drill charts and inch-spec clearance holes — useful when working off old plans, US-made machinery, or imperial-thread fasteners.

Key Features & Benefits
- 3/32″ cut to imperial standard — not a metric drill rounded to inches; this is the actual fractional size, sized to match imperial tap drill charts (e.g. 1/4"-20 UNC tap drill is #7, but 13/64" or close fractional drills also work).
- M2 high-speed steel — tough, heat-resistant tool steel that holds an edge through repeated drilling in mild steel and aluminium without re-sharpening.
- 118° standard point — the classic general-purpose drill geometry, easy to resharpen on a standard drill grinder, and forgiving in a wide range of materials.
- Parallel shank cut to size — the shank diameter equals the cutting diameter, so chuck grip is maximum and the drill runs true even in 3-jaw cordless chucks.
- ANSI B94-11 dimensioned — the US standard for jobber-length drills, ensuring overall and flute lengths line up with imperial workshop equipment.
- Bright finish — clean low-friction surface that takes cutting fluid well in metals and doesn’t pick up gummy residues in aluminium.
When to Use This Drill
The Sutton D1010238 (3/32″) is the right choice when you specifically need an imperial-sized hole — matching American or pre-metric Australian engineering drawings, imperial-thread tapping (UNC/UNF), or clearance holes for inch-pitch fasteners. For everyday drilling, choose the equivalent metric size from the D101 metric range; the cutting performance is identical, only the diameter is different.
Pro Tip: If you’re tap drilling for an imperial thread, double-check the size on a Sutton tap drill chart — the fractional sizes don’t always exactly match the calculated tap-drill diameter, and the closest fractional drill (which is what 3/32″ represents) is usually the practical choice. For 1/4"-20 UNC, the chart calls for #7 (0.201"), but 13/64" (0.203") is what most workshops actually use.
