Key Features

• Cobalt HSS Construction: This 7/16" cobalt drill bit is engineered from a premium Cobalt High-Speed Steel alloy, offering superior hardness and heat resistance.
• Optimized Flute Design: Efficiently clears chips during drilling, reducing heat buildup and preventing clogging, especially in hard materials.
• Precision Ground Point: Features a self-centering split-point tip that prevents the drill bit from "walking" on the workpiece, enabling precise hole starts without a pilot hole.
• Industrial Grade Durability: Designed to withstand rigorous use in professional and industrial applications, making it a robust metal drilling bit.

Applications

This durable 7/16" HSS drill bit is ideal for demanding drilling tasks in various materials. It is commonly used for:

• Drilling through tough metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, titanium alloys, and high-tensile strength alloys.
• Metal fabrication, automotive repair, and general maintenance.
• Industrial settings where high performance and longevity are critical.
• Creating accurate holes in materials known to generate significant heat during drilling.

Benefits

• Extended Tool Life: The high cobalt content significantly increases heat and abrasion resistance, allowing this 7/16" cobalt HSS drill bit to last considerably longer than standard HSS bits when drilling hard metals. This reduces the frequency of bit replacements and lowers operational costs.
• Efficient Performance: Experience faster drilling speeds and reduced effort, even in challenging materials like stainless steel. The bit's design and material composition ensure clean, precise holes with less user fatigue.
• Accurate Starts: The self-centering split-point eliminates bit wander and the need for punching, ensuring precise hole placement from the very beginning. This saves time and reduces material waste from off-center holes.
• Reliable for Tough Jobs: Address the pain point of bits dulling quickly or breaking in hard materials. This Irwin Hanson 7/16 high-speed steel bit provides consistent and reliable performance for the most demanding applications.
