Drill America - DWDRSD1-1/8 1-1/8" Reduced Shank High Speed Steel Drill Bit with 1/2" Shank, DWDRSD Series

Received the 3/4" drill bit today, I needed it to drill two holes in1/4" thick flat stock and with some spray lube it worked well. It was shipped fast.

Its a drill bit. It makes holes. This one worked well on both copper and aluminum plates and bars.

If you need a size that doesn’t come in your standard kit, this is a nice addition.

I attempted to drill into a 3/4 inch carbon steel plate that was not hardened or specially alloyed. The bit got dull after drilling halfway. I now use this bit after sharpening on the grinder to enlarge holes in 1/2 inch black pipe fittings for some of my projects.It may as well drill into metal plate after sharpening but I have not attempted it.

This product is affordable and is advertised as working well with wood. However, when using it to bore through a 3" wood blank on my lathe, it was not a pleasant experience. The wood was Orange Osage and relatively soft. The speed setting was low like I normally use when drilling. When using this drill bit, the entire machine began shaking and the strain on wood versus the bit was incredibly loud. I ended up just tossing this bit in the trash. It is not worth enough to go through a return process. I'm off to the hardware store to invest in something actually meant for wood use.

Broke plastic pipe I was working with. But was able to repair with plastic glue.

Really good bit and sharp too

Good bit that cut through a block of aluminum, to mount some handle bars.

Es la broca más económica que encontrarás con esa característica. Me funcionó bien para el propósito que tengo.

It’s very useful and good quality

I only needed this (13/16” bit) to enlarge a couple of 1/2” holes in some aluminum blocks, for that job it worked perfectly well.

It helped with the project!

Used once in soft metal, drill bit chipped at cutting edge , not impressed,
