Drill Bit for Cobalt Steel Drilling
The Drill America cobalt bit handles heavy-duty drilling in tough metals. Its reduced shank fits standard 1/2-inch chucks while the 45/64-inch cutting diameter creates precise holes. Bronze oxide finish protects the cobalt steel from wear during extended use.
Heat Resistance and Cutting Efficiency
Cobalt steel construction dissipates heat effectively during continuous operation. The surface-treated flutes evacuate chips cleanly to reduce friction and cutting noise. Bronze oxide coating minimises galling so the bit runs cooler and draws less power through each pass.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 45/64in cobalt drill bit with its 1/2in reduced shank into my drill press, and what step is often missed?
Insert the 1/2in reduced shank fully into the chuck, tighten all three jaws evenly, and verify the bit runs true before starting — the step often missed is not seating the shank completely, which causes wobble in the 45/64in cutting diameter.
What maintenance will the cobalt silver and deming drill bit need after repeated use on hard steel?
The bronze oxide coating on the surface treated flutes reduces friction, but the 45/64in cutting edges will eventually dull; resharpen with a cobalt-approved grinding wheel to restore the original geometry and maintain the .7031 decimal equivalent size.
