Eagle Cutting Tool SC404-153-D Cobalt Stub Drill Size 53

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL SC404-153-D is a size 53 cobalt stub drill manufactured in the USA. Stub-length drills feature a shorter flute and overall length compared to jobber-length bits, which increases rigidity and reduces deflection during drilling operations. The cobalt construction improves heat resistance and edge retention, making this bit suitable for harder materials and higher-speed applications. It is designed for use by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who require precise, repeatable hole sizes in metal substrates.

This stub drill is suited for drilling in ferrous metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and other hard materials where standard high-speed steel bits lose cutting edge quickly. The shorter stub geometry makes it a preferred choice for drill press work, CNC operations, and hand drilling in tight or confined spaces where a longer bit would flex or chatter. Its domestic manufacture indicates compliance with standard US tooling tolerances.

Key Features

• Cobalt steel construction for improved heat resistance and extended tool life in hard materials
• Stub-length design reduces deflection and improves hole accuracy
• Size 53 wire gauge diameter for precise, application-specific hole sizing
• USA manufactured to standard tooling tolerances
• Minimum order quantity of 1 for individual replacement or stock purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock stub drill for use in any drill press, CNC machine, or hand drill accepting standard wire gauge shank sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation of drill bits should be performed by qualified tradespeople following standard shop safety practices. Ensure the drill chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is securely clamped before operation. Use appropriate cutting fluid for metal drilling to extend bit life and improve hole finish. Inspect the cutting edges for wear or chipping before each use and replace worn bits promptly to maintain hole quality.
