Eagle Cutting Tool T500-028-I Hss Ti-coated Jobber Drill

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-028-I is a 7/16-inch high-speed steel jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating. The titanium coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction, extending cutting life compared to uncoated HSS bits. This bit is suited for general-purpose drilling in steel, aluminum, wood, and plastics. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors reach for jobber-length bits when standard hole-making depth is needed without the flex of a longer bit.

The T500-028-I fits standard three-jaw drill chucks and is at home in hand drills, drill presses, and magnetic-base drills. At 7/16 inch in diameter, it handles common trade tasks such as drilling anchor holes, conduit knockouts by hand, and pipe-hanger clearance holes. The import designation indicates manufacturer sourcing outside North America while meeting general-purpose jobber-drill dimensional standards.

Key Features

• 7/16-inch diameter for common trade-size hole applications
• High-speed steel construction handles heat buildup during prolonged cuts
• Titanium nitride coating adds surface hardness and reduces bit wear
• Jobber length provides standard reach suitable for most field drilling tasks
• Compatible with standard three-jaw chuck drivers and drill presses

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose jobber-length drill bit fitting any standard three-jaw drill chuck accepting 7/16-inch shanks.

Installation Notes

Secure the bit fully in the chuck and verify it runs true before drilling. Use cutting fluid or a suitable lubricant when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat buildup and extend coating life. Reduce feed pressure as the bit breaks through the far side of the material to prevent grabbing. Replace the bit when cutting speed drops noticeably or the coating shows visible wear at the tip.
