Eagle Cutting Tool 1212XL-032-I Hss Longboy Drill 1/2 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL 1212XL-032-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) longboy drill bit designed for deep-hole drilling applications where standard-length bits fall short. With a 0.5-inch diameter and a 12-inch overall length (OAL), this extended-reach bit handles deep bores through wood, soft metal, and other materials in a single pass. The extra-long flute geometry keeps chips moving out of the hole during extended drilling runs. Machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general contractors reach for longboy drill bits when framing depth or structural thickness demands more than a jobber-length bit can deliver.

This drill bit is suited for through-boring in construction framing, mechanical trades work, and light fabrication where deep clearance holes are required. The 9-inch flute length paired with the 12-inch OAL provides adequate chip clearance and rigidity for controlled cutting at extended reach. HSS construction holds up to repeated use in hand-held drill applications as well as drill press and mill setups.

Key Features

• Extended 12-inch OAL for deep-reach drilling where standard bits cannot reach
• 0.5-inch cutting diameter for full-size clearance holes
• 9-inch flute length promotes chip evacuation during deep boring
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction provides hardness and wear resistance
• Compatible with standard 0.5-inch drill chucks on hand drills and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use longboy drill bit compatible with standard 0.5-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks on hand-held power drills, drill presses, and milling machines.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before use and verify runout before beginning a bore. Reduce feed rate and apply cutting fluid when drilling metals to extend bit life and prevent work hardening. Always wear appropriate eye protection, and clamp workpieces securely to prevent grab when the bit breaks through. Extended-length bits are more susceptible to flex and deflection — use a slower RPM and steady feed pressure to maintain hole accuracy.
