1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits



The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated and oxide-coated drill bits.
Drill bits with flats on shank have three flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in the drill chuck.

Cobalt Steel 1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits


With better heat and wear resistance than high-speed steel, these cobalt steel bits can run up to 25% faster and have a longer tool life. The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. A split point keeps the bit centered without a pilot hole. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.
Titanium-nitride (TiN) coated drill bits last longer and can drill at higher speeds than uncoated drill bits.

Carbide-Tipped 1/2" Diameter Reduced-Shank Drill Bits

More wear resistant than cobalt steel and high-speed steel, these carbide-tipped bits maintain a sharper, harder edge at high temperatures for excellent performance on hard and abrasive material. The shank has a smaller diameter than the tip, allowing you to drill large holes with machines that have small-capacity chucks. Also known as Silver and Deming bits, they have a 1/2” diameter shank.

Smooth-Finish Drill Bits for Wood

Bore clean, flat bottom holes in soft wood, veneer, and laminates. The center guide point prevents the bit from wandering. Also known as Forstner bits.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Fast-Cutting Smooth-Finish Drill Bits for Wood

Multiple outlining teeth bore clean, flat-bottom holes without chipping or splintering your surface—even when cutting across the grain. These bits are excellent for boring straight holes, overlapping holes, and holes on close centers in soft wood, veneer, and laminates. The center guide point prevents the bit from wandering. Also known as multispur bits or Forstner bits.
