Eagle Cutting Tool A700-108-I Hss Aircraft Drill Size 8

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL A700-108-I is a High-Speed Steel (HSS) aircraft-length drill bit sized at Number 8, with a 6-inch overall length. Designed for drilling through aluminum, mild steel, and other metals common in aircraft, HVAC, and sheet metal work, this bit delivers the extended reach that standard-length bits cannot. HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for production drilling in trade and light industrial environments. Weighing 0.61 pounds, it is lightweight enough for extended use with a standard drill or drill press.

Aircraft-length drill bits like the A700-108-I are used where extra reach is required to access tight or deep clearance holes. Common applications include HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical panel and conduit work, sheet metal assembly, and aviation maintenance. The extended flute length aids chip evacuation in deeper holes, reducing heat buildup and extending bit life in repetitive drilling operations.

Key Features

• HSS construction for hardness and heat resistance in metal drilling applications
• Number 8 drill size for precise hole diameter in standard tap and clearance charts
• 6-inch overall length provides extended reach in deep or restricted-access drilling scenarios
• Aircraft-length design with extended flutes for improved chip evacuation
• Minimum order quantity of 1, suitable for single-unit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as an aircraft-length replacement or stock drill bit suitable for use with standard drill chucks accepting Number 8 HSS drill bits in trade, sheet metal, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

This drill bit is installed by machinists, sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and electricians using a handheld drill or drill press. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify the workpiece is clamped or otherwise stabilized. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling steel to reduce heat and extend bit life. Replace the bit if the cutting edges show signs of dulling or chipping to maintain hole quality and prevent workpiece damage.
