Eagle Cutting Tool T500-016-I 1/4 in Hss Ti-coated Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-016-I is a 1/4-inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The titanium coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, extending tool life compared to uncoated HSS bits. Jobber-length geometry provides a versatile flute-to-diameter ratio suited to general-purpose through-hole drilling across a wide range of materials. This bit is used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors for drilling metal, wood, and plastic in day-to-day field and shop work.

The T500-016-I fits standard 3-jaw drill chucks and is appropriate for benchtop drill presses, handheld corded drills, and cordless drill drivers with adequate torque. The jobber-length format is the most common drill format on job sites, making this bit a direct drop-in for everyday hole-making tasks in residential and light commercial applications. Imported construction keeps cost low for high-consumption trade use.

Key Features

• 1/4-inch diameter HSS construction for general-purpose drilling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock jobber drill bit for use in any standard 3-jaw chuck accepting 1/4-inch shank tooling.

Installation Notes

This bit is installed and replaced by any trade professional or knowledgeable DIYer using a standard drill press or handheld drill. Ensure the chuck is fully tightened and the workpiece is secured before drilling. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid to extend bit life and reduce heat. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace bits showing signs of wear or chipping to maintain hole quality and prevent breakout.
