Diablo Metal Demon 15/32 in. x 6 in. Stainless Steel Drill Bit — 3-Flat Shank
Conquer tough metalworking tasks with the Diablo Metal Demon drill bit, designed for durability, precision, and steady performance in stainless steel and other hard metals. This isn't a casual DIY bit—it’s built for pros and serious hobbyists who demand reliable holes where it counts.
Why this drill bit stands out:
-
Diameter and reach for demanding metal work — 15/32" drill size provides a substantial pilot for through-holes in steel, stainless steel, and other metals, while the 6" overall length with a 4" flute length delivers deep reach and efficient chip evacuation.
-
3-Flat shank for maximum control — The 3-flat shank design reduces slippage in the chuck, enabling higher torque transfer and steadier operation in hard materials. No more wandering or skipped bites as you bore into tough metal.
-
Stainless steel construction — Crafted from stainless steel for wear resistance and long-lasting edge retention, this bit stays sharp longer under heat and pressure, giving you consistent performance project after project.
-
Durable, purpose-built for metal fabrication — Part of the Metal Demon line from Diablo, this bit is engineered to handle repeated drilling in metal fabrication, automotive work, and heavy-duty DIY tasks without compromising accuracy.
-
Single-pack convenience — Carded packaging keeps the bit secure and ready for organization in your tool chest or shop drawer.
Ideal use cases
Perfect for machinists, fabricators, and serious DIYers tackling thick steel, stainless components, or metal frames. Use it for drilling holes in vehicle panels, metal brackets, or structural metal pieces where a precise, clean hole is essential. Pair with a properly lubricated drill setup and steady feed for best results.
Practical tips for best results
- Start with a center punch to guide the bit and prevent wandering on hard metals.
- Use cutting fluid or a light lubricant to reduce heat and extend bit life; avoid dry drilling on stainless or other hard metals.
- Maintain a steady feed rate and avoid pushing too hard to prevent dulling or bit grabbing.
- Keep chips clearing—pause to back the bit out periodically on deep holes to prevent binding.
