Titan Usa SD93636 Cobalt Reduced Shank Drill Bit 9/16 in

Product Description

The TITAN USA SD93636 is a cobalt reduced shank drill bit designed for drilling into hard metals, stainless steel, and high-temperature alloys where standard high-speed steel bits wear prematurely. The 9/16 inch cutting diameter pairs with a 1/2 inch reduced shank, allowing it to seat in standard 1/2 inch drill chucks without requiring a larger chuck capacity. The 135-degree split point geometry helps the bit self-center on contact, reducing the need for a center punch on most surfaces. With a 6 inch overall length and a 3 inch flute length, the bit provides adequate chip clearance in moderate-depth applications. The bright uncoated finish is standard for cobalt-grade tooling and is suitable for use with cutting fluid.

This bit is suited for metal fabrication shops, mechanical contractors, pipefitters, and HVAC installers working with hard or abrasive base materials. The reduced shank design is practical when a 9/16 inch cutting diameter is needed but only a 1/2 inch chuck is available, a common situation on job sites where tool inventory is limited. It is also appropriate for plumbers and electricians drilling through structural steel, unistrut, or heavy-gauge enclosures.

Key Features

• Cobalt tool material for heat resistance and extended tool life in hard metals
• 135-degree split point reduces walking and eliminates the need for center punching on flat stock
• Reduced shank: 9/16 inch cutting diameter with a 1/2 inch shank fits standard 1/2 inch chucks
• 6 inch overall length with 3 inch flute length for chip evacuation in moderate-depth holes
• Bright uncoated finish compatible with standard cutting oils and coolants
• 2-flute design for efficient chip removal during drilling

Compatibility

Designed for use in any drill press, magnetic drill, or hand drill equipped with a 1/2 inch chuck. Suitable for drilling hard metals, stainless steel, cast iron, and similar ferrous materials where cobalt-grade tooling is recommended.

Installation Notes

This bit should be installed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with metal drilling operations. Secure the workpiece before drilling and apply consistent cutting fluid or oil to extend bit life and reduce heat buildup. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and replace if chipping or excessive wear is observed. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating drill equipment.
