8007 7/64" Cobalt Drill Bit

Specifications

• Manufacturer: Vermont American
• Model Number: 12607
• Product Name: 8007 7/64" Cobalt Drill Bit
• Drill Bit Diameter: 7/64 inches
• Material: Premium Cobalt Steel (typically M35 or M42 grade for enhanced heat resistance and hardness)
• Point Type: 135-degree split point, designed for self-centering and minimal walking
• Shank Type: Round shank, compatible with most standard drill chucks

Key Features

• Cobalt Steel Construction: Engineered with cobalt alloy steel, this drill bit offers superior heat and abrasion resistance compared to standard high-speed steel (HSS) bits. This construction is crucial for drilling through tough materials without losing temper.
• Precision 7/64" Diameter: The precise 7/64-inch size is ideal for creating small diameter holes, pilot holes for fasteners, or intricate work requiring exact measurements.
• 135-Degree Split Point: The advanced 135-degree split point design allows for immediate drilling contact, preventing the bit from "walking" on the workpiece surface. This feature eliminates the need for a pilot hole in many applications, enhancing drilling accuracy and speed.
• Exceptional Durability: Built to withstand high temperatures generated during aggressive drilling, extending the bit's lifespan and maintaining sharp cutting edges.

Applications

The Vermont American 8007 7/64" Cobalt Drill Bit is suitable for a broad range of drilling tasks across various industries and projects:

• Metalworking: Ideal for drilling into challenging metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, high-tensile steel, titanium, and other hard alloys. It also performs effectively on aluminum, brass, and copper.
• Automotive: Useful for repairs, fabrication, and custom modifications where drilling into hardened components or vehicle frames is necessary.
• Maintenance & Repair: Essential for general industrial and household maintenance, addressing tasks that involve drilling through robust materials.
• Woodworking & Plastics: While optimized for metals, its sharpness and durability make it an effective tool for drilling precise holes in hard woods, composites, and various plastics.

Benefits

• Enhanced Drilling Performance: Experience cleaner, faster hole creation in the toughest materials, reducing effort and improving project efficiency.
• Extended Bit Life: The cobalt steel composition significantly resists wear and heat, leading to a longer operational life for the drill bit and reducing replacement frequency.
• Superior Accuracy: The 135-degree split point ensures precise hole starts and reduces bit wandering, delivering professional-grade accuracy in every application.
• Problem-Solving Solution: Effectively addresses common challenges like premature bit dulling, breakage, and difficulty drilling hard metals, making demanding tasks more manageable.
• Versatile Use: Provides a reliable drilling solution across an extensive range of materials, offering versatility for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
