Milwaukee Thunderbolt Black Oxide 17/64" Drill Bit 48-89-2833
ENGINEERED FOR MAXIMUM RIGIDITY AND THERMAL EFFICIENCY IN METAL
The Milwaukee Thunderbolt series represents a significant mechanical upgrade over standard jobber bits, specifically addressing the common failure point of side-load breakage. By utilizing a thicker core—the Thunderbolt web—this bit maintains structural integrity under high-torque loads that would typically snap lesser steel. The parabolic flute geometry is precision-ground to accelerate chip evacuation, which is critical for maintaining lower operating temperatures and extending the cutting edge's service life during repetitive drilling in carbon steel and alloyed metals. For professional users, the 135-degree split point is a non-negotiable feature, ensuring the bit bites immediately into the workpiece without the need for a center punch, even on curved or uneven surfaces.
- / Thunderbolt® Web Design: Thicker core provides superior strength and protects against breakage during heavy side-loading.
- / 135° Split Point: Precision-ground tip starts on contact to prevent walking and delivers faster, more accurate hole placement.
- / Parabolic Flute Form: Optimized geometry clears chips and debris rapidly to keep the bit cool and maintain drilling speed.
- / 3-Flat Secure-Grip™ Shank: Eliminates bit slippage in the chuck for maximum power transfer and consistent performance.
- / Black Oxide Coating: Provides essential lubricity and corrosion resistance for long-term durability in harsh jobsite conditions.
