Irwin 13/64" x 3-5/8" Titanium 135 Degree Drill Bit (63713)

The Irwin 13/64" x 3-5/8" Titanium 135 Degree Drill Bit (63713) is a high-performance tool engineered for precision and longevity in demanding applications. Constructed from high-speed steel with a specialized titanium nitride coating, this bit is designed to drill through tough materials with efficiency and accuracy. The unique 135-degree split point is a key feature, as it allows the bit to be self-centering, effectively eliminating the problem of bit walking and reducing the need for a center punch. This design also reduces feed pressure, making it easier to penetrate hard surfaces like high-alloy steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. With a heavy-duty web design, this bit maintains its rigidity and integrity even under high stress, providing a consistent and clean drilling experience. Its robust construction and advanced features make it an essential addition to any professional's toolkit.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Titanium Nitride (TiN) Coating: The specialized titanium nitride coating extends the tool's life by resisting heat and friction, allowing it to perform for a much longer time compared to standard high-speed steel bits.
• 135-Degree Split Point: This feature allows the bit to be self-centering, preventing it from slipping or walking on the workpiece. It also provides a faster cut and reduces the required feed pressure, making drilling in hard materials less strenuous.
• Heavy-Duty Web Design: This design adds strength and rigidity to the bit, reducing the chance of breakage and ensuring stable drilling, even in dense materials.
• Versatile Material Compatibility: This drill bit is highly effective on a wide range of materials, including metal, high alloy steels, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and plastic, offering great flexibility for various projects.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Drill Diameter: 13/64"
• Overall Length: 3-5/8"
• Flute Length: 2-7/16"
• Point Angle: 135 degrees
• Point Type: Split Point
• Shank Type: Straight Shank
• Material: High-Speed Steel with Titanium Nitride coating

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Before starting, ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent movement. Verify that the drill bit is properly inserted into the drill chuck and tightened.
2. Positioning: Place the self-centering 135-degree split point directly on the desired drilling spot. A center punch is not required due to the bit's design.
3. Drilling: Apply steady, consistent pressure and begin drilling at a moderate speed. Allow the bit to do the work; do not force it.
4. Cooling: For harder materials like stainless steel, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to dissipate heat and further extend the life of the drill bit.
5. Completion: Once the hole is drilled, retract the bit from the workpiece. Clean any debris and store the bit properly to maintain its condition.
