Disston Company 293100 Hss Titanium Drill Bit 1/16 in 2 Pack

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 293100 is a 2-pack of high speed steel, titanium-nitride coated jobber-length drill bits sized at 1/16 inch diameter by 1-7/8 inch flute length. The titanium-nitride surface finish adds lubricity that improves chip flow and drilling efficiency while extending drill life compared to uncoated HSS bits. A 135-degree split point reduces walking at startup and requires less pressure to begin the cut. The straight shank fits standard 3-jaw chucks across corded and cordless drills. These bits are well-suited for tradespeople and maintenance technicians who need small-diameter bits on hand for repetitive light drilling tasks.

These drill bits are recommended for heavy-duty drilling in wood, plastic, wallboard, and plywood, as well as soft metals. They are also rated for moderate use in heat-treated or ferrous metals. The small 1/16 inch diameter makes them a go-to choice for pilot holes, screw starts, and precision drilling in tight spaces encountered in electrical, HVAC, and general mechanical work. Sold as a 2-pack on a carded retail package, making them practical to keep in a service bag or toolbox.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 3-jaw keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting a straight shank 1/16 inch bit, including corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses used in general trade and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Install the straight shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely before drilling. Always wear eye protection when drilling metal or hard materials. At 1/16 inch diameter, these bits are susceptible to breakage under side load — keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface and apply steady, moderate feed pressure. Reduce speed when transitioning from softer to harder materials to extend bit life.
