Eagle Cutting Tool 1080-046-D Hss Drill Bit 23/32 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1080-046-D is a 23/32 inch high speed steel (HSS) slow spiral (SD) drill bit with a 1/2 inch reduced shank, manufactured in the USA. Slow spiral geometry reduces chip load and heat buildup when drilling through materials that produce long, stringy chips, such as soft metals, plastics, and wood composites. The 1/2 inch shank fits standard 1/2 inch drill chucks and compatible machine tool holders. This bit is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators who require precise, larger-diameter holes in production or job-site settings.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in drill presses, milling machines, and hand-held drill motors equipped with a 1/2 inch chuck. Typical applications include metal fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and industrial production environments where consistent hole quality at 23/32 inch diameter is required. The slow spiral design is particularly effective in soft metals such as aluminum and copper, as well as in plastics and similar materials where standard twist drill geometry may cause grabbing or rough finishes.

Key Features

• 23/32 inch cutting diameter for larger-bore hole requirements
• High speed steel (HSS) construction provides durability and heat resistance during drilling operations
• Slow spiral (SD) flute geometry reduces chip packing and minimizes grabbing in soft or gummy materials
• 1/2 inch reduced shank fits standard 1/2 inch drill chucks without need for an adapter
• Manufactured in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for use with any drill press, milling machine, or power drill equipped with a 1/2 inch or larger chuck capable of accepting a 1/2 inch straight shank drill bit.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and replaced by machinists, maintenance technicians, or fabricators using standard drill chuck or collet tooling. Ensure the machine is fully powered down and the spindle has come to a complete stop before changing bits. Secure the shank fully in the chuck and verify it is properly centered before beginning any drilling operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being drilled to extend bit life and improve hole quality.
