Eagle Cutting Tool T500-032-I Hss Ti-coated Jobber Drill 1/2 in

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL T500-032-I is a 1/2-inch high-speed steel (HSS) jobber-length drill bit with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating applied to the cutting surface. The titanium coating increases surface hardness and reduces friction during drilling, extending tool life compared to uncoated HSS bits. Jobber-length geometry provides a balance of reach and rigidity suitable for general-purpose hole-making across a wide range of materials. This bit is used by trade professionals for drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood in fabrication, mechanical, and HVAC sheet metal work.

The T500-032-I suits residential and commercial trade applications where a reliable, general-purpose drill bit is required. Typical use cases include drilling pilot holes in sheet metal, structural steel, aluminum, and similar materials on the jobsite or in the shop. It is appropriate for use with standard corded or cordless drill motors and drill presses. The import designation indicates the bit is manufactured overseas to HSS specification.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch diameter HSS construction for durability across metal and non-metal substrates
• Titanium nitride coating increases surface hardness and reduces heat buildup during drilling
• Jobber-length geometry balances reach with lateral stiffness for accurate hole placement
• Compatible with standard 1/2-inch keyed or keyless drill chucks
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or supplemental jobber drill bit for use in standard 1/2-inch capacity drill chucks on corded drills, cordless drills, and drill presses.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, pipefitter, HVAC technician, or general tradesperson typically installs and operates this bit. Secure the bit fully in the chuck before operation and confirm the chuck is tightened at all three key positions on keyed chucks. Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal. Reduce feed pressure and use cutting fluid when drilling hard ferrous stock to extend bit life and maintain cutting edge integrity.
