33/64 inch HSS reduced-shank drill bit
This 33/64 inch high-speed steel drill bit features a reduced 3/8 inch shank that fits standard three-jaw chucks. The silver and deming design suits metalworking tasks where a larger hole is needed but chuck capacity is limited. Surface-treated flutes improve chip evacuation and reduce friction during drilling operations. It is intended for machinists and maintenance technicians who need a single large-diameter bit for occasional use.
Sustained-load behaviour
Under continuous drilling the high-speed steel body resists softening better than carbon steel, while the surface-treated flutes help maintain cutting efficiency as temperatures rise. The reduced shank concentrates torque at the junction, so feed pressure must be managed to avoid snapping the bit in deep holes. Coolant or cutting oil is recommended for prolonged cuts in tough alloys to preserve edge life and dimensional accuracy.

Questions about this item
Does the 33/64 inch HSS bit generate excessive heat during extended drilling sessions?
The high-speed steel construction with surface-treated flutes helps dissipate heat effectively during prolonged use in metal or wood.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept to use this 3/8 inch reduced-shank bit?
Your drill chuck must accommodate a 3/8 inch shank, which is standard on most 1/2 inch capacity drills.
