Irwin 1" x 6" Silver & Deming Drill Bit (91164)

The Irwin 1" x 6" Silver & Deming Drill Bit (91164) is a heavy-duty, reduced-shank bit designed for efficient drilling of large holes. Constructed with high-quality M-7 high-speed steel and a durable black oxide finish, it ensures excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. Its 1/2" three-flatted reduced shank allows secure gripping in standard 1/2" chucks, providing precise and slip-free drilling performance across wood, metal, and plastic applications.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Drill Large Holes with a Standard Chuck: The 1/2" reduced shank allows you to use this 1" diameter bit with any drill that has a 1/2" chuck, expanding your drilling capabilities without needing specialized equipment.
• Superior Durability: Constructed from M-7 high-speed steel, the bit provides exceptional strength and resistance to heat and wear, ensuring a long service life even in demanding applications.
• Secure, Slip-Free Grip: The three-flatted shank design improves chuck grip and prevents the bit from slipping, which is especially beneficial when using keyless chucks or drilling through tough materials.
• Versatile Application: This bit is suitable for drilling a variety of materials, including wood, metal, and plastic, making it a highly versatile tool for any workshop.
• Corrosion Resistance: The black oxide finish provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion, extending the bit's lifespan and maintaining its cutting performance over time.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Drill Diameter: 1 inch
• Overall Length: 6 inches
• Shank Diameter: 1/2 inch
• Point Angle: 118 degrees
• Shank Type: Three-Flatted Reduced Shank
• Material: M-7 High-Speed Steel (HSS)
• Finish: Black Oxide
• Cutting Direction: Right-Hand Cut (Clockwise)

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the Drill: Ensure your drill is set to the correct speed for the material you are drilling. For harder materials like metal, use a lower speed.
2. Secure the Bit: Insert the 1/2" reduced shank into your drill's chuck. Tighten the chuck firmly to ensure the three-flatted shank is gripped securely.
3. Mark the Spot: Mark the exact location where you intend to drill. Use a center punch for metal to prevent the bit from walking.
4. Start Drilling: Begin drilling at a slow speed, applying steady, even pressure. Allow the bit to cut the material; do not force it.
5. Clean and Cool: Regularly remove the bit from the hole to clear chips and debris. Use a cutting fluid or lubricant, especially when drilling metal, to reduce heat and friction.
6. Finish the Hole: Continue drilling until you have passed through the material. Remove the bit and turn off the drill.
