Freud DMD1332JP1 Metal Drill Bit 13/32 in 5 Pack

Product Description

The FREUD DMD1332JP1 is a 13/32-inch metal drill bit engineered for professionals who work across multiple steel types without switching bits. Part of the Metal Demon line, this bit is designed to cut mild steel, hardened steel, and stainless steel using a single tool. A proprietary Thermal Shield protective coating forms a multi-layered barrier at the tip to manage heat buildup, extending service life significantly compared to titanium, cobalt, or black oxide bits. A 130-degree Hybrid Split Point Tip provides fast, accurate starts in both stationary drill presses and handheld drills. Sold in a 5-pack, this bit suits high-volume shop and field use.

This drill bit is built for trade professionals including pipefitters, HVAC installers, electricians, and fabricators who regularly drill through structural and stainless steels on the job. The 3-in-1 material compatibility eliminates the need to carry separate bit sets for different steel hardnesses. Typical applications include drilling pilot holes in mild steel plate, penetrating hardened fastener stock, and boring through stainless enclosures or panels. The automated CNC grinding process holds tight angle tolerances to reduce bit deflection and speed up hole completion.

Installation Notes

Installation of this drill bit is performed by electricians, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals using standard drill presses or handheld drills. Confirm the chuck is fully secured before operating and power down the drill before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel to manage heat and extend bit life. Follow applicable OSHA and shop-safety guidelines for rotating tool operation and eye protection.
