DRILL BIT 1/16 COBALT - DeWALT

Specifications

• Manufacturer: DeWALT
• Model Number: DWA1204
• Product Name: DRILL BIT 1/16 COBALT
• Diameter: 1/16 inch (0.0625 inches / 1.59 mm)
• Material: Cobalt alloyed high-speed steel (HSS-Co)
• Shank Type: Straight Shank
• Tip Type: 135-degree Split Point

Key Features

• Cobalt Alloy Construction: Engineered with a cobalt alloy, this drill bit provides superior heat resistance and abrasion durability, essential for drilling hard materials.
• 135-degree Split Point Tip: The aggressive 135-degree split point design initiates drilling on contact, preventing bit "walking" and ensuring accurate hole placement without a pilot hole.
• Precision Ground Flutes: Precisely ground flutes effectively clear chips, reducing heat buildup and promoting smooth, efficient drilling.
• Enhanced Hardness: The cobalt content contributes to increased bit hardness, allowing it to maintain a sharp cutting edge longer than standard HSS bits.

Applications

• Metal Drilling: Ideal for drilling through challenging metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, hardened steel, titanium, and other high-tensile alloys.
• General Purpose: Suitable for demanding tasks in fabrication, automotive repair, plumbing, and general workshop applications.
• Pilot Holes: Creates precise pilot holes for screws, rivets, or larger diameter drill bits.
• Versatile Use: Compatible with a wide range of drilling equipment, including cordless drills, corded drills, and drill presses.

Benefits

• Extended Tool Life: The cobalt alloy construction significantly resists heat and wear, allowing for prolonged use and reduced bit changes when working with abrasive materials.
• Effortless Penetration: The sharp, self-centering split point tip offers quick and clean penetration, minimizing user effort and drilling time.
• Reduced Breakage: Its robust material composition and resistance to high temperatures minimize the risk of premature bit failure, ensuring consistent performance.
• Accurate Hole Creation: Experience precise hole diameters and clean exits, enhancing the quality of your work and reducing rework.
• Cost-Effective Performance: Outlasts standard high-speed steel bits in tough applications, providing long-term value and efficiency for professionals and serious DIYers.
