Drill America Cobalt Reduced Shank Bit
This Drill America cobalt drill bit is built for metalworking tasks that demand heat resistance and durability. The reduced shank design allows it to fit 3/8-inch chucks while maintaining a larger cutting diameter. It suits mechanics and fabricators who need reliable performance in tough alloys.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
Cobalt steel construction helps the bit run cooler during extended drilling in hard materials. Bronze oxide surface treatment reduces friction and chip welding for smoother cuts. The flute geometry clears debris efficiently to prevent binding and overheating. Power draw depends entirely on the drill motor and feed pressure applied.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 15/32" cobalt drill bit with a 3/8" reduced shank, and what step do people often miss?
Insert the 3/8" reduced shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely on the flats; the step often missed is not seating the shank completely, which causes run-out on the .4688" cutting diameter.
What maintenance or replacement will this cobalt drill bit need later?
Resharpen the 15/32" cobalt cutting edges when they dull; the bronze oxide coating on the 4-5/16" flutes wears off over time, so replace the bit once the cobalt substrate is too short to regrind.
