Description
The Irwin 19/32″ x 6″ Silver & Deming Drill Bit (91138) is a premium tool designed for demanding drilling applications. Engineered with high-speed steel, this bit is built to perform in heavy-duty environments like automotive repair, body shops, and metal fabrication. The unique Silver & Deming design features a 1/2″ reduced shank, allowing you to create large 19/32″ holes using a standard 1/2″ drill chuck. This combines the capacity for larger holes with the convenience of a widely available power tool. The bit’s black oxide coating provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring a longer service life and reliable performance, even when working with lubricants. The 118° chisel point tip is a general-purpose design that helps prevent the bit from “walking” or slipping on the material’s surface, resulting in more accurate and controlled drilling from the very start. Whether you’re a professional fabricator or working on a heavy-duty project, this Irwin drill bit is a dependable choice for precision and longevity.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Precision Drilling: The 118° chisel point tip provides stability and accuracy, making it perfect for general-purpose applications by helping to prevent the bit from slipping on the material.
- Corrosion Resistance: Engineered with a black oxide coating, this drill bit is protected from rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan and performance in various working conditions.
- Wide Tool Compatibility: The 1/2″ reduced shank with 3 flats allows this larger diameter bit to be securely held in standard 1/2″ drill chucks, increasing its versatility with common power drills.
- Heavy-Duty Performance: Constructed from premium high-speed steel, this bit is designed for heavy-duty metal drilling, making it an essential tool for professionals in automotive, body shop, and metal fabrication fields.

- Safety First: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or with clamps to prevent it from moving during drilling.
- Positioning: Mark the desired drilling location. Place the tip of the bit on the mark and apply light pressure.
- Drilling: Start the drill at a low to medium speed. Maintain steady pressure and a consistent speed. For metal drilling, consider using a cutting lubricant to reduce heat and friction, which will extend the bit’s life.
- Finishing: Once the hole is drilled, slowly retract the bit from the material while the drill is still spinning to clear chips and prevent jamming. Turn off the drill before inspecting the hole and workpiece.
