11/16 in Reduced Shank HSS Drill Bit

The Drill America DWDRSD11/16 is a silver and deming drill bit made from high speed steel. It features a reduced shank design with surface treated flutes for chip evacuation. The overall length is 6 inches with a 3 inch flute length. This single piece is suited for general purpose drilling tasks.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This bit suits users needing a 11/16 inch hole diameter in a single pass with a standard 1/2 inch chuck capacity. It is not for buyers who need a full shank matching the cutting diameter for maximum rigidity. It is also not for applications requiring carbide tips or specialised coatings for abrasive materials.

Capacity and headroom

The bit comfortably handles drilling 11/16 inch diameter holes up to 3 inches deep in steel and wood. The reduced shank fits common 1/2 inch drill chucks while providing the larger cutting diameter. It runs out when hole depths exceed the 3 inch flute length or when the material hardness demands carbide tooling for tool life.

Questions about this item

What chuck size is needed to hold the 1/2 in. reduced shank on this 11/16 in. drill bit?

A drill chuck with a minimum 1/2 in. capacity is required to grip the reduced shank securely.

Will this 6 in. overall length bit fit in the same drill press spindle travel as my shorter twist drills?

Yes, the 6 in. overall length and 3 in. flute length are standard Silver and Deming dimensions compatible with typical drill press spindle travel.

How can I confirm the bit is cutting correctly after installing it in my drill press?

The bit should produce continuous, straw-coloured chips and a clean 0.6875 in. diameter hole without excessive vibration or squealing.
