Disston Company 293480 Titanium Hss Drill Bit 7/64in 2 Pack

Product Description

The DISSTON COMPANY 293480 is a 7/64-inch titanium-coated high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit sold in a 2-pack at jobber length. The titanium-nitride surface finish reduces friction, improves chip flow, and extends drill life compared to uncoated HSS bits. The 135-degree split point starts on contact without walking, reducing the need for a center punch. The straight shank fits standard keyless and keyed chucks. This bit is suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable, small-diameter bit for repetitive drilling tasks on the job site or in the shop.

The 293480 is designed for heavy-duty drilling in wood, plastic, wallboard, and plywood, as well as soft metals. It also handles moderate use in heat-treated or ferrous metals. At 7/64 inches in diameter and 2-5/8 inches in length, it is well-suited for pilot holes, small fastener clearance holes, and wire or conduit routing applications common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rough-in work. The carded 2-pack format allows easy storage and inventory management for service vans and tool bags.

Key Features

• Titanium-nitride coating adds lubricity, enhances chip flow, and increases drill life
• 135-degree split point starts on contact and reduces bit walking
• High-speed steel construction handles wood, plastic, wallboard, plywood, soft metals, and moderate ferrous metal use
• Jobber length at 2-5/8 inches provides a balance of reach and rigidity
• Straight shank is compatible with standard drill chucks
• 2-pack carded format supports job-site inventory and reduces downtime from lost or worn bits

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard straight-shank drill chucks on corded and cordless drills. Fits any drill accepting a 7/64-inch straight-shank bit.

Installation Notes

Install the bit fully into the chuck and tighten securely before drilling. Use appropriate speed settings — smaller diameter bits generally require higher RPM and lighter feed pressure to avoid breakage. When drilling metals, apply cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if the titanium coating is worn through or the tip is chipped.
