Titan Usa SD94744 Reduced Shank Drill Bit 11/16 in Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA SD94744 is a reduced shank twist drill bit designed for drilling through metal, wood, and other materials where a standard full-shank bit will not fit a 1/2-inch chuck. The bit measures 11/16 inch (0.6875 inch) in diameter with a 1/2-inch reduced shank, allowing use in most standard drill chucks and drill presses. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it carries a black oxide and straw finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces friction during cutting. The 118-degree split-point angle is a general-purpose geometry suited to a wide range of materials encountered in trade work.

This bit is a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades that regularly need to bore 11/16-inch holes through sheet metal, structural steel, framing lumber, or composite panels. The reduced shank makes it compatible with 1/2-inch chucks without requiring a larger drill body, which is useful when working with standard cordless or corded drill drivers on the job. The 3-inch flute length provides adequate chip clearance for through-holes in typical trade materials, and the overall 6-inch length gives enough reach for deeper or obstructed drilling applications.

Key Features

• 11/16-inch cutting diameter (0.6875 inch decimal) with 1/2-inch reduced flat shank for standard chuck compatibility
• High-speed steel construction for durability across metal, wood, and composite materials
• 118-degree point angle — general-purpose geometry for a broad range of trade applications
• Black oxide and straw finish reduces surface friction and provides mild corrosion resistance
• 3-inch flute length with 2 flutes for efficient chip evacuation
• 6-inch overall length provides extended reach in tight or deep drilling scenarios
• 3 flats on the shank resist bit slippage in the chuck under load

Compatibility

Designed for use in 1/2-inch drill chucks on standard corded and cordless drill drivers and drill presses. Fits Series 623 tooling specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with rotating cutting tools and applicable safety procedures. Secure the workpiece before drilling and confirm the chuck is fully tightened against the flat shank before operation. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection. Reduce feed rate when breaking through the back side of a workpiece to avoid grab or bit damage.
