Eagle Cutting Tool 1208XL-028-I Hss Drill Bit 7/16 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1208XL-028-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit designed for metal, wood, and general-purpose drilling applications. With a 7/16-inch cutting diameter and an 8-inch overall length (OAL), this extended-length bit reaches deep holes and confined-clearance situations that standard-length bits cannot access. The 5-inch flute length provides efficient chip evacuation during drilling. HSS construction delivers the hardness and heat resistance required for production drilling in metals including mild steel, aluminum, and cast iron. This bit is suited for use in drill presses, magnetic base drills, and heavy-duty hand drills.

This extended-length drill bit is intended for trade and industrial applications where additional reach is required. Typical use cases include structural steel fabrication, mechanical assembly, HVAC duct and equipment mounting, plumbing rough-in, and electrical conduit installation. The 7/16-inch diameter is a common size for bolt clearance holes and stepped-hole starting passes. It performs reliably in both production shop environments and field service work where a standard jobber-length bit falls short.

Key Features

• 7/16-inch cutting diameter for standard bolt clearance and general drilling
• 8-inch overall length for extended reach into deep or confined work areas
• 5-inch flute length promotes chip evacuation and reduces heat buildup
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat and maintains edge hardness
• Compatible with standard drill chucks accepting round shanks at this diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an extended-length HSS twist drill bit suitable for use in drill presses, magnetic base drills, and heavy-duty corded or cordless drills equipped with a chuck sized to accept a 7/16-inch shank.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed and operated by qualified tradespeople familiar with drilling equipment and safe cutting practices. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling and use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend bit life and reduce heat. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace the bit if the edge is degraded. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drilling equipment.
