11/16 in Reduced Shank HSS Drill Bit
The Drill America DWDRSD11/16 is a silver and deming drill bit made from high speed steel. It features a reduced shank design with surface treated flutes for chip evacuation. The overall length is 6 inches with a 3 inch flute length. This single piece is suited for general purpose drilling tasks.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This bit suits users needing a 11/16 inch hole diameter in a single pass with a standard 1/2 inch chuck capacity. It is not for buyers who need a full shank matching the cutting diameter for maximum rigidity. It is also not for applications requiring carbide tips or specialised coatings for abrasive materials.
Capacity and headroom
The bit comfortably handles drilling 11/16 inch diameter holes up to 3 inches deep in steel and wood. The reduced shank fits common 1/2 inch drill chucks while providing the larger cutting diameter. It runs out when hole depths exceed the 3 inch flute length or when the material hardness demands carbide tooling for tool life.
