Questions about this item

Will the cobalt split point on the 46632 bit need re-sharpening and how often?

The 135-degree split point is designed for self-centering and reduced thrust; cobalt steel holds an edge longer than standard high-speed steel, so re-sharpening intervals are extended under normal drilling conditions.

What limit appears first when drilling continuously with this 1/2-inch bit?

Heat buildup at the cutting edges is the primary limit; the non-coolant-through design means chips and heat must be cleared by periodic withdrawal and cutting fluid.

How much noise and heat does the 46632 generate during all-day drilling?

Noise level depends on the drill motor and workpiece; the bit itself produces typical high-speed steel cutting sound, while heat concentrates at the tip and flutes during sustained use.
