Freud DMD1164JP1 Metal Drill Bit 11/64 in 5-pack

Product Description

The FREUD DMD1164JP1 is an 11/64-inch metal drill bit engineered for use on mild steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel. Sold in a 5-pack, each bit features a 130-degree Hybrid Split Point Tip that starts on contact without walking, in both stationary drill presses and handheld drills. A proprietary Thermal Shield Protective Coating forms a multi-layered barrier at the tip to dissipate heat and extend service life. This design is intended for trade professionals and fabricators who work across multiple metal types and need a single bit solution that does not require switching between cobalt, titanium, or black oxide variants.

These bits are suited for metal fabrication, mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and electricians drilling into structural steel, stainless fastener plates, or hardened brackets. The 5-pack format supports job-site use where bit turnover is common and having spares on hand reduces downtime. The bits are compatible with standard keyed and keyless drill chucks in both corded and cordless handheld drills as well as benchtop drill presses.

Key Features

• 130-degree Hybrid Split Point Tip starts on contact in stationary and handheld drills without a center punch
• Thermal Shield Protective Coating creates a multi-layered heat barrier to extend bit life up to 30 times longer than titanium, cobalt, or black oxide bits
• Automated precision CNC grinding process holds strict industrial-standard angle tolerances for consistent cutting geometry
• Designed as a 3-in-1 solution for mild steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel in a single bit geometry
• Drilling speed up to 2 times faster than standard metal drill bits due to optimized cutting edge geometry
• Sold in a 5-pack (unit of measure: EA, package quantity: 5) for job-site convenience

Compatibility

Designed for drilling mild steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel; fits standard drill chucks compatible with the 11/64-inch shank diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with metal drilling practices. Always power down and disconnect the drill or press before changing bits. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement and bit deflection. Follow applicable safety standards and wear appropriate PPE including eye protection when drilling into hardened or stainless steel.
