Dewalt DW1312 Titanium Drill Bit 3/16 Inch Split Point

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1312 is a 3/16-inch titanium-coated drill bit built for drilling into metal. The split point tip reduces walking on contact, allowing the bit to engage the work surface immediately without a center punch in many applications. The titanium coating extends wear life compared to standard high-speed steel bits, making this a practical choice for technicians and tradespeople who drill metal regularly. At 0.03 pounds, the bit is lightweight and designed for use in standard 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch keyless or keyed drill chucks common across the trades.

This bit is suited for drilling ferrous and non-ferrous metals including mild steel, aluminum, and sheet metal encountered in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical panel work, plumbing bracket installation, and general mechanical applications. It is sold as an individual bit and is appropriate for both bench-mounted drill presses and handheld power drills. Tradespeople who need a reliable 3/16-inch size for pilot holes, anchor clearances, or sheet metal penetrations will find this bit fits standard workflow demands.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch diameter for common pilot hole and clearance hole applications
• Split point tip reduces bit walking and allows faster engagement on metal surfaces
• Titanium coating increases surface hardness and extends bit service life
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• Compatible with standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard accessory for use with any corded or cordless power drill or drill press equipped with a 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch chuck capable of accepting round-shank drill bits.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or plumber installing this bit should secure the workpiece before drilling to prevent rotation. Ensure the drill is powered off and the chuck is fully tightened before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling thicker mild steel to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Eye protection is required during all drilling operations per standard jobsite safety practice.
