Eagle Cutting Tool 1080-050-D Hss Drill Bit 25/32 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1080-050-D is a 25/32-inch high-speed steel (HSS) slow spiral drill bit with a 1/2-inch straight shank. Manufactured in the USA, this bit is built for drilling applications where controlled chip evacuation and reduced heat buildup are priorities. The slow spiral geometry is well-suited for harder materials and applications requiring precise hole entry. It is a standard production drill used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance tradespeople working in metal fabrication, HVAC equipment assembly, and mechanical installation environments.

This drill bit is intended for use in drill presses, magnetic drills, and heavy-duty hand drills with a 1/2-inch chuck. The 25/32-inch diameter makes it a common size for bolt clearance holes, conduit knockouts, and rough-in applications across mechanical and electrical trades. Its HSS construction allows it to handle steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar ferrous and non-ferrous materials at appropriate cutting speeds.

Key Features

• 25/32-inch cutting diameter for precise, trade-standard hole sizing
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Slow spiral (SD) flute design promotes controlled chip removal and reduced heat
• 1/2-inch straight shank for compatibility with standard drill chucks and magnetic drill presses
• Made in the USA

Compatibility

Designed for use in any drill press or hand drill fitted with a 1/2-inch or larger chuck. Suitable for drilling steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar materials at recommended cutting speeds for HSS tooling.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed and operated by qualified machinists or tradespeople familiar with proper cutting speeds and feeds for HSS tooling. Secure the workpiece and ensure the drill press or hand drill is powered off before changing bits. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain hole quality. Do not exceed the recommended RPM for the bit diameter and material being cut.
