Irwin 11/32" x 4-3/4" Titanium 135 Degree Drill Bit (63722)

The Irwin 11/32" x 4-3/4" Titanium 135 Degree Drill Bit (63722) is a high-performance tool engineered for professionals seeking precision and longevity. This drill bit is part of the Series 639/637, known for its industrial-grade construction and advanced coatings. The bit's M7 grade steel and Titanium Nitride coating provide exceptional resistance to heat and friction, significantly extending its working life compared to standard high-speed steel bits. Featuring a 135-degree split-point tip, this tool is designed to start drilling immediately upon contact, eliminating the common issue of bit "walking" on hard surfaces. The straight shank design ensures compatibility with standard drill chucks, making it a versatile addition to any tool collection. With a focus on stability and efficiency, this Irwin drill bit is suitable for drilling through a wide range of materials, including various metals, woods, and plastics, making it a reliable choice for a multitude of professional applications.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Up to Six Times Longer Life: The Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating provides superior resistance to heat and friction, which results in a significantly extended lifespan for the bit, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Immediate, Non-Slip Drilling: The 135-degree split-point tip allows the bit to start drilling instantly without needing a pilot hole or center punch. This feature prevents the bit from "walking" or slipping on the material surface, ensuring a clean and accurate start.
• High-Speed Steel Construction: Made from industrial M7 grade steel, the drill bit offers a balance of hardness and flexibility, making it suitable for drilling into metal, wood, and plastic with consistent results.
• Improved Rigidity: A heavy-duty web design provides added strength and stability, minimizing bit deflection and breakage when drilling through tough materials.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Diameter: 11/32 inches
• Length: 4-3/4 inches
• Flute Length: 3-7/16 inches
• Shank Type: Straight
• Tip Angle: 135 degrees
• Coating: Titanium Nitride (TiN)
• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS)

HOW TO USE:

1. Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, before starting any drilling task.
2. Secure the Bit: Insert the straight shank of the drill bit into the chuck of your drill. Tighten the chuck firmly to ensure the bit is securely held in place and will not slip during operation.
3. Secure the Workpiece: Clamp or otherwise hold your material firmly to prevent it from moving. Movement of the workpiece can lead to inaccurate drilling and potential injury.
4. Start Drilling: Place the tip of the bit on the desired drilling location. Start the drill at a lower speed and gradually increase it as the bit begins to engage with the material. Apply consistent, moderate pressure. Avoid excessive force, as this can cause the bit to overheat and potentially break.
5. Clear Debris: When drilling through deeper materials, periodically withdraw the bit to clear out chips and debris. This helps to prevent clogging, which can cause the bit to overheat.
6. Finishing: Once the hole is drilled to the desired depth, withdraw the bit from the material. Turn off the drill and allow the bit to cool down before handling or storing.

BENEFITS OF USING IRWIN 11/32" X 4-3/4" TITANIUM 135 DEGREE DRILL BIT (63722):

• Enhanced Durability: The specialized Titanium Nitride coating protects the bit from wear and tear, ensuring it remains sharp and effective for a longer period.
• Improved Accuracy: The 135-degree split point provides immediate, precise starts, which reduces the need for secondary tools and improves the overall quality of your work.
• Reduced Effort: The split-point design and efficient flute geometry reduce the amount of feed pressure required, making the drilling process easier and less fatiguing for the user.
• Versatility: The bit is designed to perform well across a wide range of materials, including various metals, woods, and plastics, making it a highly adaptable tool for different projects.
• Heat Dissipation: The parabolic flute design is specifically engineered to improve chip evacuation and heat dissipation, which helps to maintain the bit's integrity and extends its life.

FEATURES:

• Parabolic flute design for efficient chip removal and reduced heat buildup.
• Shorter cutting lips to minimize torque when drilling into high-tensile materials.
• Heavy-duty web geometry for enhanced rigidity and resistance to breaking.
• Manufactured from industrial M7 grade steel for a combination of strength and resilience.
• Straight shank for broad compatibility with standard drill chucks.
• Designed for use in a variety of materials including metal, wood, and plastic.
