Eagle Cutting Tool 1090-042-I Hss Drill Bit 21/32 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1090-042-I is a 21/32-inch high speed steel (HSS) drill bit designed for demanding drilling applications across a range of materials. Built with a straight-design configuration and a 1/2-inch reduced shank, this bit fits standard 1/2-inch chuck equipment commonly found on jobsite and shop drill presses and hand drills. The HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance required for drilling into steel, cast iron, aluminum, and similar metals. It is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need reliable, repeatable hole sizes in metal fabrication and installation work.

This drill bit is appropriate for both residential and light commercial trade applications. Typical use cases include drilling through metal studs, pipe flanges, electrical enclosures, sheet metal, and structural steel components. The 21/32-inch diameter is a common size for clearance holes and conduit knock-out work. The 1/2-inch shank design allows compatibility with larger chuck sizes standard on heavy-duty drills and drill presses found in trade and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with metal drilling practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling hard metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges are chipped or dull. Follow applicable workplace safety standards when operating drill equipment.
