  • Product typeDrill Accessories
  • 9/16 inch drilling capacity with 3/8 inch reduced shank fits standard chucks

  • Silver and Deming design delivers 6 inch overall reach for deeper work

9/16 in HSS reduced shank drill bit

The Drill America bit is made from high-speed steel with surface-treated flutes for durability. Its 9/16 inch cutting diameter uses a reduced 3/8 inch shank to fit standard three-jaw chucks. The flute length measures 3 inches and the overall length is 6 inches. It suits general-purpose metal drilling in maintenance and fabrication shops.

Straightforward chuck fit and chip clearance

The reduced shank drops straight into any 3/8 inch capacity chuck without adapters. Surface-treated flutes help evacuate chips, yet deep holes still require frequent withdrawal to prevent packing. Excessive feed pressure can snap the narrower shank section. The bit is not for buyers who need a full 9/16 inch shank for maximum rigidity in heavy-duty CNC work.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 9/16in HSS reduced-shank drill bit is cutting correctly after chucking it into my 3/8in drill?

The bit should produce clean, silver-coloured chips and advance smoothly through the workpiece without excessive vibration or burning smells, indicating the surface-treated flutes are evacuating material properly.

What exactly comes in the package and is a 3/8in chuck or adapter included?

The box contains the single 9/16in HSS Silver and Deming drill bit with a 3/8in reduced shank; no chuck, adapter, or additional accessories are included.
