3/16 x #8 drill bit identifies this Castle bit as a 3/16 inch pilot hole solution matched to #8 size work, so you can drill consistent holes when that diameter is required. The bit is described as a 3/16 inch split point pilot hole bit, which means the cutting tip is formed to start accurately, helping the bit engage the surface with reduced wandering when positioning a hole line. This drill bit is listed in the drill bits product class, so it is intended for drilling tasks as part of boring and drilling operations in the shop. The bit is specified with a 1/4 inch shank, so the driven end of the tool is sized for chucks that accept a 1/4 inch cylindrical shank. Brand identification as Castle ties this bit to a manufacturer focused on drilling solutions, which supports consistent sourcing for repeat jobs that rely on the same hole size and tip style.
The 1/4 inch shank on this Castle 3/16 inch split point pilot hole bit sets a clear interface for the drill chuck, so the tool grips consistently whenever it is loaded for a run of holes. The split point description of the tip defines how the cutting edges meet at the end, helping the bit engage the surface with reduced walking as the first contact is made. The 3/16 x #8 drill bit designation ties the cutting diameter to #8 sizing, so when a process calls for that diameter, this bit maintains that specification job after job. Being categorized under drill bits in the boring and drilling group keeps this tool in the primary set of cutters used for straight-through drilling tasks.

With its 1/4 inch shank, the bit fits into drill chucks designed for a 1/4 inch round shank, so it works within tool systems that standardize on that shank size. The B00316 manufacturer part number gives it a precise identity, supporting repeat ordering for fixtures, jigs, or production lines that depend on the same 3/16 inch drilling performance.
The split point pilot hole bit designation defines how the Castel bit engages material, as the split point geometry helps the tip start cutting at the intended spot, which supports straighter holes when following layout lines.
