5/8-inch HSS Silver and Deming Drill Bit

The Drill America bit is a high-speed steel Silver and Deming drill bit with a 5/8-inch cutting diameter and a 1/2-inch reduced shank. It is designed for use in drill presses and heavy-duty portable drills where the chuck capacity is limited to 1/2 inch. The surface-treated flutes promote chip evacuation in metalworking applications.

Limits of the reduced-shank design

The 1/2-inch shank restricts this bit to machines with a chuck capacity of at least 1/2 inch, preventing use in smaller 3/8-inch drill chucks. The overall length of 6 inches and flute length of 3 inches limit the maximum drilling depth to approximately 3 inches in a single pass. High-speed steel construction requires appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication to avoid premature wear in hard materials.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 5/8 inch Silver and Deming bit or a smaller size for my 1/2 inch chuck?

The 5/8 inch Silver and Deming bit has a reduced 1/2 inch shank that fits your chuck, while the flute diameter handles the larger hole.

What does the .6250 decimal equivalent mean when I am drilling?

The .6250 decimal equivalent confirms the exact 5/8 inch cutting diameter so the finished hole matches the specification.
