Description
The Irwin 1/8" x 2-3/4" Black Oxide HSS 135 Degree Drill Bit (63508) is a premium fractional straight shank, jobber-length drill bit designed for precise and efficient drilling in a variety of materials. Engineered with a 135° split-point tip, it starts on contact, preventing bit "walking" and eliminating the need for a center punch. This high-speed steel (HSS) bit is coated with a black oxide finish to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and improved lubricity, extending the tool's life. The standard jobber length makes it a versatile choice for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts seeking reliable performance in applications involving wood, metal, and plastic.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- 135° Split Point Tip: This advanced point design allows the bit to start drilling immediately upon contact with the workpiece, eliminating the frustrating problem of the bit "walking" or wandering. This feature ensures precise hole placement and reduces the need for pre-drilling or a center punch.
- Premium High-Speed Steel Construction: Made from high-quality M-2 HSS, the drill bit provides a balance of strength, hardness, and heat resistance, making it suitable for drilling through tough materials and maintaining its edge over time.
- Black Oxide Coating: The black oxide finish acts as a protective layer, providing superior corrosion resistance to prevent rust and degradation. This coating also adds lubricity, which helps to reduce friction and heat buildup during drilling, contributing to a cleaner cut and longer bit life.
- Jobber Length: The standard jobber length offers a good balance of reach and stability, making the bit suitable for a wide range of general-purpose applications without being overly cumbersome.
- Straight Shank: The straight shank design is compatible with all standard drill chucks, ensuring a secure grip and easy installation in most power drills and drill presses.

HOW TO USE:
- Safety First: Always wear safety glasses and appropriate protective gear before operating any power tool.
- Secure the Workpiece: Clamp the material you are drilling firmly to a workbench or surface to prevent it from moving during the drilling process.
- Insert the Bit: Loosen the chuck on your drill, insert the straight shank of the Irwin 63508 drill bit, and tighten the chuck securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
- Mark the Spot: Although the split point tip helps with accuracy, it is still good practice to mark the exact location where you want to drill.
- Begin Drilling: Position the tip of the bit directly on your mark. Start the drill at a slow speed, applying steady, firm pressure to let the bit cut into the material.
- Maintain and Clean: Periodically pull the bit out of the hole to clear chips and debris, which helps to prevent overheating and clogging.
- Complete the Hole: Continue drilling, maintaining a consistent speed and pressure until the hole is drilled to the desired depth.
