Eagle Cutting Tool T500-023-I Hss Ti-coated Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-023-I is a 23/64-inch high-speed steel jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied to the cutting surfaces. The titanium coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during drilling, extending tool life compared to uncoated HSS bits. This is a general-purpose twist drill sized for common fastener and hole-making applications across metal, wood, and plastic workpieces. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable jobber drill in a fractional size that falls between standard 11/32-inch and 3/8-inch diameters.

The T500-023-I fits standard 3/8-inch or larger keyed and keyless chucks on drill presses and portable hand drills. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes for bolts and anchors, enlarging existing holes, and general metalworking and construction tasks. The jobber length provides a versatile balance of reach and rigidity suited to most bench and field drilling scenarios. This bit is imported and positioned as a cost-effective option for shops and technicians who need fractional drill coverage without the cost of domestic premium tooling.

Key Features

• 23/64-inch cutting diameter for fastener and anchor pilot hole applications
• Titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces heat buildup at the cutting edge
• High-speed steel construction handles general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastics
• Jobber length balances reach and rigidity for bench and portable drill use
• Fits standard 3/8-inch and larger keyed or keyless drill chucks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit compatible with standard 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch keyed and keyless chucks on bench drill presses and portable hand drills.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit fully into the chuck and tighten before use. Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat and extend bit life. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the workpiece to avoid grabbing or tip damage. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace the bit if chipping or excessive wear is observed.
