DW1612 Black Oxide Drill Bit, 7/16 X 12 In. Split Point

The DeWalt DW1612 is a high-speed steel drill bit designed for drilling in metal, wood, and plastic. The black oxide coating provides greater resistance to wear, and the 135° split point prevents walking for fast, straight starts.

This 7/16-inch drill bit features a parabolic flute design with a 31° helix angle that minimizes over-aggressiveness while improving chip ejection. The spiral flute geometry helps move chips away from the drilling area efficiently, making it effective across multiple materials and applications.

Features and Benefits

• Split Point Tip: The 135° split point prevents walking and delivers fast starts on metal, wood, and plastic.
• Black Oxide Coating: Greater resistance to wear compared to uncoated steel bits.
• Parabolic Flute: Improves chip ejection in metal and wood drilling applications.
• High-Speed Steel Construction: Industrial-grade steel for durability across drilling tasks.
• 31° Helix Angle: Optimized geometry that minimizes over-aggressiveness of traditional parabolic flute designs.
