Product Description

The 1/2" Saw Drill Bit is a specialized tool for brewers customizing their own equipment. Constructed from industrial-grade High-Speed Steel (HSS), this bit is designed to bore clean, burr-free holes through heavy-gauge stainless steel brewing kettles and stockpots. The saw-tooth design provides more stability and a cleaner cut than a standard twist bit, making it ideal for installing 1/2" NPT weldless bulkheads for ball valves, thermometers, and sight gauges.

Brewery DIY Tip: When drilling stainless steel, "slow and steady" is the rule. Use a high-quality cutting oil and keep the drill speed low to prevent the steel from work-hardening. Apply firm, consistent pressure. Once the hole is complete, use a deburring tool or a file to smooth the edges before installing your silicone gaskets to ensures a 100% leak-proof seal.
