Cle-Line C17041 Silver & Deming Drill
This 43/64 inch drill bit is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. The 1/2 inch reduced shank allows compatibility with standard drill chucks that cannot accept larger straight shanks. It suits maintenance technicians and workshop users who need a single large-diameter bit for occasional heavy-duty tasks.
118 Degree Point with Black and Gold Finish
The 118 degree point angle provides effective centring and chip evacuation across common ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Machining high speed steel construction resists heat buildup during extended cuts. The black and gold surface finish helps identify the bit quickly in a crowded tool drawer and indicates the premium heat-treated grade.
Upgrade from Standard Twist Bits
This bit replaces smaller twist drills when hole diameters exceed standard chuck capacity, eliminating the need for step drilling or hole saws in many applications. The reduced shank design bridges the gap between handheld drill capacity and large-hole requirements. The jump is worth it when a single accurate hole at 43/64 inch is needed without specialised magnetic-base equipment.

Questions about this item
What does the 118 degree point angle mean for drilling performance?
The 118 degree point angle is a general-purpose geometry that centres easily on flat surfaces and works well in mild steel, aluminium and wood without specialised cutting fluid.
Will the 1/2 reduced shank fit my drill chuck?
The shank is turned down to 1/2 inch so it fits any standard 1/2 inch keyed or keyless chuck while the cutting diameter remains 43/64 inch.
How do I install the bit without it slipping?
Open the chuck fully, insert the reduced shank until it seats against the jaws, then tighten each jaw evenly; the common mistake is tightening only one side, which leaves the bit off-centre.
