The Wikipedia defines jobber-length bits as those for which the length of the flute (the twisted part) is 10 times the diameter of the bit. Thus, a 0.25-inch drill bit should have a flute length of 2.5 inches.
Also asked, what is the standard drill bit size?
Drill bit sizes are written as irreducible fractions. So, instead of 78/64 inch, or 1 14/64 inch, the size is noted as 1 7/32 inch.

A jobber drill bit is a bit that has a long length compared to its diameter. Jobbers have a length anywhere from 8-12 or 9-14 (depending on who you ask) times the diameter.

While we have established that all drill bits are not universal, a lot of these drill bits can be interchangeable with different drills, as long as they fit.Why are there Letter drill sizes?
The numbered drill sizes came from British wire gauge sizes. It's my understanding that the non-uniformities came from diameter differences in the old wire drawing processes. Sort of the same deal for the letter sizes (but from different wire manufacturers).What is jobber length?
Today, jobber bit refers to the length of the drill itself. Specifically, jobber bits have a flute length between 9 and 14 times the diameter of the drill. A ½ inch diameter jobber drill will be able to drill a hole 4 ½ inches deep because it is 9 times the diameter in length, for example.What size hole do I drill for a 3/16 Rivet?

How much does a drill bit cost?
Advances in polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits have sharply increased penetration rates(31588 bytes) in oil and gas wells. The payoffs are reduced drilling time and costs. At about $10,000-150,000 apiece, PDC bits generally cost five to 15 times more than roller cone bits.What size is a 7 drill bit?

What does a metal drill bit look like?
Bits designed to drill metal have flutes that taper to a point at either a 118- or 135-degree angle. Bits with a 118-degree point are general-purpose bits, while those with a 135-degree point are self-cleaning, which means they shed shards of metal instead of allowing them to accumulate around the shank.What drill bit is closest to 5 8?
