Eagle Cutting Tool A712-005-I Hss Aircraft Drill 5/64 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL A712-005-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) aircraft-length drill bit designed for deep-reach drilling applications in metal, composite, and structural materials. At 5/64 inch in diameter with a 12 inch overall length (OAL), this bit gives technicians and tradespeople the extended reach needed to access tight or deep cavities that standard-length drills cannot reach. HSS construction provides the hardness and heat resistance required for drilling through steel, aluminum, and similar materials at typical drill press or hand-drill speeds. Weighing 0.24 pounds, it is a lightweight, single-piece tool ready for immediate use.

Aircraft-length drill bits are a standard tool in aviation maintenance, HVAC sheet metal fabrication, automotive bodywork, and structural steel applications where access depth is a limiting factor. The 12 inch OAL allows drilling through thick stacked materials, deep structural members, or confined spaces such as wall cavities and duct framing. This bit is suited for use by HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, aircraft mechanics, and general contractors who regularly work with elongated drill access requirements.

Key Features

• 5/64 inch diameter for precise small-bore drilling in metal and composite substrates
• 12 inch overall length provides extended reach into deep or confined work areas
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction resists heat buildup during continuous drilling
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds for reduced fatigue during overhead or extended-reach work
• Aircraft-length geometry suited for structural, fabrication, and maintenance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard aircraft-length drill bit compatible with any 3/8 inch or larger keyed or keyless drill chuck accepting round-shank bits of 5/64 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit firmly in the drill chuck before use and verify it is centered and true before beginning a cut. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling through hardened steel or stacked materials to extend bit life and reduce heat. Always wear eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Dispose of worn or damaged bits promptly, as HSS bits that have lost temper from overheating will deflect or snap under load.
