1-1/2" Cobalt Drill Bit for Heavy-Duty Drilling
The Drill America 1-1/2" cobalt drill bit features a reduced 1/2" shank and bronze oxide finish for durability in tough materials. Its cobalt steel construction resists heat and wear when drilling stainless steel, cast iron or titanium alloys. Silver and Deming style flutes provide efficient chip removal during deep-hole operations. The 1.5000 inch diameter suits large-diameter applications in maintenance and fabrication shops.
Upgrade from Standard High-Speed Steel Bits
This bit replaces general-purpose high-speed steel drills that dull quickly in abrasive or work-hardening metals. The cobalt alloy retains hardness at elevated temperatures, extending tool life in repetitive production runs. The reduced shank allows use in 1/2" chucks without a separate adapter, saving setup time. It is not suited for precision micro-drilling or non-metallic materials where carbide or diamond tooling is preferred.

- 1-1/2 inch capacity for large-hole drilling

Questions about this item
Will a 1/2 in. reduced shank fit my drill chuck?
Yes, the 1/2 in. reduced shank is designed for standard 1/2 in. drill chucks.
What is the correct drilling speed for this cobalt bit?
Run the drill at low RPM with steady pressure; cobalt steel overheats if spun too fast, dulling the cutting edges.
