Key Features

• Cobalt Construction: Engineered with a robust cobalt alloy, this 29/64" drill bit offers exceptional heat resistance and extended durability when drilling through tough metals.
• RED HELIX Design: Features an aggressive 135° split point combined with an optimized variable helix flute geometry. This design improves chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup for cooler operation.
• Precision Ground Tip: The 135° split point tip ensures quick and accurate starts, preventing the bit from walking on the workpiece, even on curved or uneven surfaces.
• Enhanced Strength: Built to withstand demanding applications, providing superior resistance to wear and breakage compared to standard high-speed steel bits.
• High-Speed Performance: Designed to maintain sharpness and integrity at elevated temperatures, facilitating faster drilling speeds in challenging materials.

Applications

The Milwaukee 29/64" COBALT RED HELIX Drill Bit is a versatile tool for professionals engaged in:

• Drilling through hard metals such as stainless steel, cast iron, high-strength alloys, and abrasive materials.
• Metal fabrication and structural steel work where precise, durable holes are required.
• Automotive repair and maintenance, including chassis work and engine component drilling.
• Industrial maintenance and construction tasks where consistent performance in difficult materials is essential.
• Creating clean, accurate holes for fasteners, conduits, and custom installations.

Benefits

• Extended Bit Life: The cobalt alloy construction significantly prolongs the lifespan of the drill bit, especially when working with abrasive and high-tensile strength metals, reducing replacement costs.
• Faster Drilling Speed: The unique RED HELIX flute design efficiently removes chips, preventing clogging and allowing for quicker material penetration and overall job completion.
• Superior Accuracy: The 135° split point eliminates the need for a pilot hole and prevents bit walking, ensuring precise hole placement from the very first contact.
• Reduced Heat Buildup: The optimized flute geometry and cobalt material work together to dissipate heat effectively, maintaining bit integrity and preventing premature dulling.
• Consistent Performance: Delivers reliable and clean holes across a wide range of metal types, minimizing rework and improving the quality of finished projects.
