Ideal for detailed work, electronics, and pilot holes.Precision for the Smallest JobsThe 1/16" drill bit for metal is one of the most precise tools in your toolbox. Whether you're drilling pilot holes, handling circuit board repairs, or working with delicate sheet metal, this bit delivers accuracy where it matters. Thanks to its slim diameter, it’s commonly used in electronics, watchmaking, and fine-detail fabrication.Despite its small size, this cobalt bit offers serious cutting power. You can count on it to maintain shape and sharpness while producing accurate, clean holes even in tough metals.Optimized for Controlled DrillingThis bit is crafted from M35 cobalt steel, which offers higher heat resistance and durability than traditional high-speed steel. Its 118° point angle is perfect for such a fine size, ensuring clean penetration without snapping or walking. While larger sizes benefit from a 135° split point, 1/16" is best suited to the 118° angle for fine entry.Suitable materials include:Stainless steelMild steel and alloy steelSheet metal and thin tubingCopper and brassPlastic housings and circuit panelsThis bit excels in light touch, high-precision jobs.Extend Lifespan with LubricationUsing a lubricant helps reduce friction and prevent heat buildup—especially important for smaller diameter bits. We recommend applying TTP CUT-IT metal cutting paste before drilling. It ensures smoother cuts, longer bit life, and better hole quality.Use the Right Speed—Avoid Bit BreakageSpeed matters. To prevent overheating or snapping such a fine bit, use our Speeds & Feeds Calculator to dial in the optimal RPM. Small bits should be run slower in tough metals, especially stainless steel.Backed by Professionals, GuaranteedThis 1/16" drill bit for metal is used daily by aerospace engineers, electronics technicians, and metalworkers who require the finest detail. And with our money-back guarantee, there’s no risk. If it doesn’t perform to your expectations, we’ll refund your purchase—simple as that.
