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.
Drill bits with flats on shank have three flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in the drill chuck.

Combination Drill Bit/Pipe and Conduit Thread Taps

Drill and thread holes for pipe and conduit without switching tools. Made of uncoated high-speed steel, these tools are for use on most metal and plastic. Their right-hand spiral flutes keep chips clear by drawing them back toward the tap and out of the hole. With a square shank, they're compatible with tap wrenches and tap holders for drill presses and milling machines. All have a plug chamfer with 3-5 chamfered cutting threads, so they're suitable for start-to-finish tapping of through holes.
