Eagle Cutting Tool D250-012-D Hss Drill Bit 3/16 Inch

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL D250-012-D is a 3/16 inch high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit designed for precision drilling in metal, wood, and general construction materials. Featuring a 135-degree split point geometry, this bit self-centers on contact, reducing the need for a center punch and minimizing walking on hard surfaces. Manufactured in the USA, it is built to withstand the demands of daily trade use in fabrication, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications. At 0.5 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle in both handheld and drill-press setups.

This drill bit suits residential and light commercial applications where accurate, clean-entry holes are required. It is commonly used by electricians running conduit, plumbers boring through framing, HVAC techs mounting equipment, and general contractors working with metal studs or structural steel. The split point tip reduces thrust required during drilling, making it effective in both powered hand drills and bench-mounted drill presses across a wide range of materials.

Key Features

• 135-degree split point tip for self-centering, reduced walking on hard surfaces
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across metal, wood, and plastics
• 3/16 inch diameter for consistent, accurate hole sizing
• Made in the USA for consistent quality and dimensional accuracy
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy single-hand or drill-press use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/16 inch HSS drill bit suitable for use with conventional keyed and keyless drill chucks in handheld drills and bench-mounted drill presses.

Installation Notes

Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. Match drill speed to material type — lower RPM for harder metals, higher RPM for wood and soft plastics. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened before operation. Follow applicable workplace safety codes when working on energized or pressurized systems.
