Eagle Cutting Tool 1208XL-009-I Hss Drill Bit 9/64 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1208XL-009-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit sized at 9/64 inch in diameter with a 5-inch flute length and an 8-inch overall length (OAL). The extended OAL makes this bit suited for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits fall short. HSS construction provides adequate hardness and heat resistance for drilling through mild steel, aluminum, wood, and similar materials. This bit is sized for use with standard drill chucks found on benchtop and handheld drilling equipment used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals.

This drill bit is appropriate for light industrial and trade applications requiring a longer reach than a jobber-length bit provides. The 9/64-inch diameter is commonly used for pilot holes, conduit work, sheet metal drilling, and general-purpose boring tasks. The extended shank and flute length allow the bit to clear chips effectively during deeper passes, reducing the need to withdraw and re-clear as frequently as with shorter bits.

Key Features

• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of common workpiece materials
• 9/64 inch diameter suits pilot hole and general-purpose drilling tasks
• 5-inch flute length supports efficient chip evacuation in deeper holes
• 8-inch overall length provides extended reach for deep-hole or restricted-access drilling
• Compatible with standard drill chucks — no special tooling required

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose HSS twist drill bit compatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks on handheld drills, drill presses, and similar equipment accepting straight-shank bits in the 9/64-inch size.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the drill chuck before operation and verify the chuck key is removed before starting the drill. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely to prevent movement during drilling. Worn or overheated HSS bits should be replaced rather than reused, as reduced hardness increases the risk of bit breakage.
