Notes
Same line as T01, one size up. Short length for rigidity, TiN for the metal work it’ll probably never see but doesn’t cost anything in wood or plastic either. Reach for this one over T01 whenever 3/16” is the actual target size rather than 1/8”.
Two 3/16” bits in the drawer now, for different reasons. T02 is the sheet-metal specialist: short flutes, black oxide, built to clear thin stock without snagging. This one is the general-purpose short-length twist. Sharpie makes the call, not the diameter.
0.84” max drilling depth is enough for through-holes in 3/4” stock with a little room to spare, more headroom than T01 has at 1/8”.
