Titan Usa SD94756 Reduced Shank Drill Bit 7/8 Inch Hss

Product Description

The TITAN USA SD94756 is a reduced shank twist drill bit engineered for drilling through metal, wood, and plastics where a standard full-shank bit would not fit a 1/2-inch chuck. The bit measures 7/8 inch in diameter with a 1/2-inch reduced shank, allowing it to be used in any standard 1/2-inch drill or drill press. Overall length is 6 inches, with a 3-inch flute length that provides adequate chip clearance during through-hole operations. The 118-degree split point promotes accurate starting without a center punch on most workpiece materials. Construction is high-speed steel with a black oxide and straw finish that reduces friction and provides a modest level of corrosion resistance. This bit is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and field metalworking applications.

The SD94756 fits into standard 1/2-inch chucks found on benchtop drill presses, magnetic drills, and handheld corded drills. The reduced shank with three flats prevents slippage under torque load, making it suitable for production drilling in steel plate, structural members, and pipe. The Series 623 designation places it within a consistent family of reduced-shank tooling used by machinists and maintenance technicians who regularly drill oversized holes without access to a large-capacity Jacobs-style chuck. This bit ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both shop and job-site use.

Key Features

• 7/8-inch cutting diameter with 0.8750-inch decimal equivalent for precise tolerance work
• 1/2-inch reduced shank with three flats prevents rotation in the chuck under load
• 118-degree drill point angle suits general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and plastic
• 6-inch overall length and 3-inch flute length balance reach with rigidity
• High-speed steel construction withstands the heat generated during metal drilling
• Black oxide and straw finish reduces friction and offers light corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or spare reduced-shank drill bit for use in any standard 1/2-inch drill chuck on handheld drills or drill presses. No specific OEM compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this SKU.

Installation Notes

Secure the shank firmly in the chuck with all three flats engaged against the chuck jaws before beginning any drilling operation. Always power down and disconnect the drill or drill press before changing bits. Use appropriate cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Wear ANSI-rated eye protection during all drilling operations per standard shop safety practice.
