Dewalt DW1328 Titanium Drill Bit 7/16 Inches Metal

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1328 is a 7/16-inch titanium-coated drill bit engineered for metal drilling applications. The split-point tip design reduces walking at the start of a hole, allowing the bit to engage the workpiece immediately without a center punch in most applications. The titanium coating extends surface hardness and helps shed heat generated during high-speed drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 0.22 pounds, it is a single-bit unit sold individually and suited for use with standard corded or cordless drills. Electricians, HVAC techs, plumbers, and general tradespeople keep this size on hand for conduit, bracket, and sheet-metal work.

The DW1328 is intended for drilling through metal substrates including mild steel, sheet metal, aluminum, and similar materials. The 7/16-inch diameter makes it a common choice for bolt clearance holes, knockout pilot work, and structural bracket installations encountered in mechanical and electrical trades. It is compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks found on most corded and cordless drill drivers and drill presses.

Key Features

• 7/16-inch diameter for common bolt clearance and structural drilling tasks
• Split-point tip reduces bit walking on smooth metal surfaces
• Titanium coating increases surface hardness and heat resistance
• Designed for metal drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Sold as a single bit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement-grade drill bit suitable for use with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on corded drills, cordless drill drivers, and bench-mounted drill presses that accept 7/16-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, plumber, or HVAC technician typically installs this bit as part of a standard drilling operation in metal. Ensure the workpiece is secured before drilling, and use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling thick or hardened steel to extend bit life. Always wear eye protection and ensure the drill is powered off before changing bits. Follow applicable OSHA and trade safety guidelines for hand and power tool use.
