Duro Dyne 24014 Split Point Twist Drill Bit 9/32 Inch

Product Description

The DURO DYNE 24014 is a 9/32 inch split point twist drill bit engineered for fast, accurate drilling in sheet metal and light steel. Built from forged hot rolled steel and hardened to high-speed steel standards, the 24014 features a 135-degree split point that starts the hole on contact without walking or marring the work surface. Overall length is 2-11/16 inches. The heavier-than-standard web construction runs solid steel from point to shank, reducing flex and breakage. Roll forging gives the bit added resistance to torsional stress when binding occurs during use.

This drill bit is suited for HVAC sheet metal fabrication, ductwork assembly, and general light-gauge steel drilling. It is a practical choice for duct shops and field technicians who drill high volumes of holes in 24 to 28 gauge sheet metal. The self-starting split point eliminates the need for a center punch on flat stock, saving setup time on repetitive operations. Licensed HVAC fabricators and sheet metal workers are the primary installers.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point starts on contact and prevents bit walk on smooth metal surfaces
• Forged hot rolled steel construction with extra-heavy web from point to shank reduces breakage
• Roll-forged shank resists torsional stress when the bit binds under load
• Twist flute geometry clears chips efficiently during continuous drilling
• Specially hardened steel extends service life compared to standard high-speed steel bits

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use replacement drill bit for sheet metal and light steel applications requiring a 9/32 inch hole diameter.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and used by sheet metal workers and HVAC fabrication technicians. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent spinning and injury. Use appropriate drill speed for the material thickness — lower RPM for thicker stock reduces heat buildup and extends bit life. Wear eye protection and gloves when drilling metal.
