1/8" x 12" Black Oxide Drill Bit - DeWALT

The DeWALT DW1602 1/8" x 12" Black Oxide Drill Bit is engineered for professional technicians and mechanics requiring reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial applications. This robust drill bit delivers consistent, clean holes in a variety of materials, combining durability with efficient material removal. Its specialized design ensures precision and extended tool life, making it an essential addition to any professional toolkit.

Key Features

• 135-Degree Split Point Tip: Designed to drill on contact, this aggressive point angle prevents walking and ensures immediate penetration, particularly effective in hard metals and for self-centering without a pilot hole.
• Parabolic Flute Design: Enhances chip ejection in both metal and wood drilling applications, reducing heat buildup and minimizing the risk of clogging. This design is especially beneficial for deep hole drilling, allowing for increased feed rates and improved hole quality.
• Black Oxide Coating: Provides greater wear resistance and helps to prevent rust and corrosion, extending the bit's lifespan in harsh working conditions. The coating also helps maintain tight tolerances, as it adds negligible thickness.
• Optimized 31-Degree Helix: This specific helix angle minimizes the over-aggressiveness sometimes associated with true parabolic flutes, providing a balanced cutting action suitable for diverse materials.
• High-Speed Steel (HSS) Construction: Manufactured from durable High-Speed Steel, this drill bit maintains sharpness and integrity even at elevated drilling temperatures.
• Extended 12" Length: The extra-long design allows technicians to access and drill in deep or hard-to-reach spaces, common in automotive chassis work or industrial machinery.

Applications

The DeWALT DW1602 is ideal for drilling through tough materials encountered in automotive repair, fabrication, and industrial maintenance. It excels in drilling hard metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, and other alloys, as well as wood and plastic. Its self-centering capability and efficient chip removal make it suitable for tasks requiring precise hole placement and consistent results, from light-duty panel work to heavy-duty component installation.
