Eagle Cutting Tool 1208XL-012-I Hss Drill Bit 3/16 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1208XL-012-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit with a 3/16 inch diameter, 5 inch flute length, and 8 inch overall length (OAL). Designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic, this extended-length bit reaches into deeper work areas where standard-length bits fall short. At 0.08 pounds, the bit is light enough for handheld drill use while maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate hole starts. HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance required for repetitive production drilling in trade and shop environments.

This drill bit is suited for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople who need extended reach when drilling through framing members, sheet metal brackets, or structural panels. The extra length is useful when drilling through wall cavities or deep assemblies where a standard jobber-length bit cannot reach. It is appropriate for use in handheld electric drills, drill presses, and right-angle drill attachments commonly used in field installation work.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch diameter for standard pilot and anchor holes in light-gauge metal and wood
• 8 inch overall length provides extended reach for deep-cavity drilling applications
• 5 inch flute length aids chip evacuation during deep-hole drilling
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat buildup during continuous use
• Minimum order quantity of 1 allows single-unit procurement for job-specific needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style import replacement drill bit compatible with standard 3/8 inch or larger drill chucks accepting 3/16 inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

Install the bit securely into the drill chuck and verify the shank is fully seated before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection at all times during drilling operations. Disconnect or de-energize power tools before changing bits per OSHA and site safety requirements.
