Dewalt Accessories DWA1208 Cobalt Drill Bit 1/8 Inch 5-pack

Product Description

The DEWALT ACCESSORIES DWA1208 is a 1/8-inch cobalt split point drill bit sold in a 5-piece pack. Cobalt construction provides extended durability when drilling through hard metals, including stainless steel and heavy-gauge steel. The split point tip engages the workpiece immediately on contact, reducing walking and the need for a center punch. At 0.1 pounds for the pack, this is a lightweight addition to any drill kit. Licensed tradespeople and experienced DIYers working with ferrous metals will find this bit well suited to repetitive drilling tasks where standard black oxide bits wear prematurely.

The DWA1208 is designed for drilling through metal and wood, with particular emphasis on stainless steel and heavy steel applications. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who regularly drill through metal framing, sheet metal enclosures, or structural steel will benefit from the cobalt formulation. The 5-pack quantity supports production work where bit replacement is routine. The 1/8-inch diameter suits pilot holes, small fastener clearances, and light sheet metal penetrations common in trade installations.

Key Features

• Cobalt construction engineered for durability in stainless steel and heavy steel
• Split point tip starts on contact to minimize bit walking
• Rated for up to 4 times longer service life compared to black oxide bits
• 1/8-inch diameter suitable for pilot holes and small-diameter metal drilling
• Sold as a 5-piece pack for extended job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/8-inch shank cobalt drill bit compatible with conventional drill chucks accepting straight-shank bits of that diameter, suitable for use in metal, wood, and similar materials.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or qualified tradesperson should ensure the drill is set to the correct speed for the material being drilled, as excessive RPM can overheat cobalt bits and reduce service life. Secure the workpiece before drilling and use cutting fluid when working with stainless steel or heavy steel to extend bit life. Inspect each bit for chipping or wear before use and replace any bit showing visible damage.
