Cobalt Drill Bit, 13/64 In Diameter - Vermont American

The Vermont American 12663 Cobalt Drill Bit is a robust tool engineered for demanding drilling tasks in professional automotive and industrial environments. Designed to penetrate tough, abrasive materials like stainless steel, this bit ensures clean and precise holes while withstanding high temperatures and rigorous conditions typical of professional applications.

Key Features

• Cobalt Alloy Construction: Manufactured from a high-quality cobalt alloy, this drill bit provides superior hardness and heat resistance. This construction significantly extends tool life when working with challenging materials, reducing the frequency of bit replacement.
• Optimal 13/64 In Diameter: Features a precise 13/64 In diameter, also referred to as 13 x 64, which is ideal for a variety of professional applications requiring accurate hole sizing for fasteners and components.
• Self-Centering 135-Degree Split Point: The aggressive 135-degree split point geometry facilitates immediate penetration upon contact. This design eliminates the need for a center punch and significantly reduces bit walking on hard, curved, or uneven surfaces, improving accuracy and efficiency.
• High-Heat Durability: Engineered to maintain its cutting edge integrity even under significant drilling heat, preventing premature wear and dulling during intensive use in challenging materials such as exhaust components or frame repairs.
• Efficient Chip Evacuation: Designed with a 2-7/16 In flute length to effectively clear chips and debris, promoting smooth and consistent drilling performance without clogging, even in deeper holes or sticky materials.

Applications

This cobalt drill bit is an essential tool for automotive technicians, industrial machinists, and fabrication professionals who regularly encounter hard-to-drill materials. It excels in applications involving stainless steel components, such as exhaust system modifications, custom fabrication projects, or critical frame repairs where standard bits often struggle to maintain sharpness and integrity. Its ability to penetrate abrasive metals also makes it suitable for general fabrication, demanding industrial maintenance, and professional garages prioritizing reliable and precise tooling.
