1-1/2in HSS Reduced Shank Drill Bit
This Drill America Silver and Deming drill bit features a 1-1/2 inch cutting diameter with a 1/2 inch reduced shank for use in standard drill chucks. It is constructed from high-speed steel with surface-treated flutes designed for general-purpose drilling applications in metal, wood, and plastic. The bit suits maintenance professionals and fabricators needing large-diameter holes without requiring a large-capacity chuck.
Capacity and headroom
The flute length measures 3 inches within an overall length of 6 inches, providing reach for through-hole and deep drilling tasks. The reduced shank design allows compatibility with 1/2 inch chucks, though the large cutting diameter demands high torque and low speed to prevent stalling. It is not suited for precision boring or hardened steel applications where carbide tooling is required.
Highlights
- 1-1/2 inch diameter handles large-hole drilling tasks
- High-speed steel construction resists heat during extended use
