Diablo Metal Demon 31/64 in. x 5.9 in. L Metal Drill Bit is engineered for serious metalwork, delivering precise holes and steady performance in demanding applications. Built for durability, this drill bit is a dependable tool in any shop, fabrication setup, or DIY metal project.
Why this 3-Flat Shank matters
The 3-flat shank design transfers more torque from your drill to the bit, reducing slippage and cam-out in high-torque environments. That means cleaner starts, straighter holes, and less stray wandering when you’re drilling hardened metals or thick stock. It’s a smarter choice for power drills and drill presses alike, helping you work faster with less effort.

Practical tips for best results
- Use a steady feed rate and avoid short, jerky motions to minimize bit deflection in metal.
- Apply light cutting oil or coolant to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life during drilling.
- Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vise to prevent movement and ensure a clean hole.
- Start with a pilot hole if drilling through thicker metal to guide the 31/64 in bit precisely.
