Description
Specs
- Diameter: 17/32" (0.53125")
- Shank: 3/8" reduced shank
- Material: Cobalt (high-speed steel cobalt alloy)
- Quantity: 1 piece
- Brand/Model: D/ACO
Features
- Cobalt alloy provides enhanced heat resistance and wear life for drilling hard metals
- Reduced 3/8" shank enables mounting in drills and holders that accept 3/8" bits
- Precision 17/32" cutting diameter suited for mid-range metal hole drilling tasks
- Designed for repeated use in metalworking applications such as fabrication, maintenance, and light production
- Ideal for drilling hard metals (e.g., stainless steel and alloy steels) when used with proper feed rates and lubrication
- Practical tips: use proper cutting fluid or oil when drilling stainless and alloy steels; maintain steady feed to manage heat; use peck drilling to clear chips
- Performance note: cobalt HSS offers longer life and higher heat tolerance than standard HSS under elevated speeds
- Use cases: fabrication shop tasks, maintenance routines, and light production holes in metal
Physical
- Cutting portion diameter: 17/32"
