11/16" HSS Silver & Deming Drill Bit
The Drill America 11/16" HSS Silver & Deming drill bit is built for heavy-duty drilling in metal, wood and plastic. Its high-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during extended use. The reduced shank design allows compatibility with standard 1/2" chucks. This accessory suits professional workshops and serious DIY projects.
1/2" Reduced Shank Compatibility
The 1/2" reduced shank is the critical specification that determines fit. It enables the 11/16" cutting diameter to be used in drills limited to 1/2" capacity. Buyers whose chucks accept only smaller shanks cannot use this bit. Verify your drill chuck maximum before purchase.

Questions about this item
What does the 11/16 inch diameter mean when I use this bit in a drill press?
The bit cuts a hole 0.6875 inches wide; the 1/2 inch reduced shank fits standard three-jaw chucks while the flute length of 3 inches and overall length of 6 inches give reach for deeper workpieces.
How does the 1/2 inch reduced shank limit the bit in a standard chuck?
The shank fits any 1/2 inch capacity chuck, but the larger 11/16 inch cutting diameter requires adequate motor torque and rigid clamping to prevent slipping during heavy drilling.
