Cobalt steel bit with reduced shank

This 7/8 inch cobalt steel drill bit features a reduced shank that fits standard half-inch chucks. The heavy-duty notched point is designed to start cleanly and resist walking on hard metals. It suits machinists and maintenance technicians who need a single large-diameter bit for tough alloys.

Sustained drilling in hard materials

Cobalt alloy retains hardness at the elevated temperatures produced during extended cuts in stainless steel or high-strength alloys. The 3 inch flute length clears chips efficiently to reduce heat buildup. Builders who need a full set of step sizes or a bit for non-ferrous sheet metal should choose a different tool.

Highlights

  • Cobalt steel resists heat during heavy drilling
  • HD notched point starts holes without walking
  • Reduced 1/2" shank fits standard chucks
  • 3" flute length clears chips efficiently

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 7/8" cobalt bit generate during extended drilling?

Cobalt steel dissipates heat better than standard high-speed steel, so the bit runs cooler during long sessions in tough metal.

What chuck size is required for the 1/2" reduced shank?

A 1/2" or larger drill chuck is needed to grip the reduced shank securely.
