Irwin 60522 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Irwin 60522 11/32 bit to drill steel, or is it only for wood?
It drills metal, wood, and plastic. The body is M-2 high-speed steel, which holds its edge and resists heat in mild steel and other metal work. For steel, run it slow with cutting oil and steady pressure; speed it up for wood and plastic.
2) What size hole does an 11/32 drill bit make, and is that the right size to tap 3/8-16?
The 60522 cuts a 0.3438 in. hole (11/32 in.). That is the standard tap drill size for a 3/8-16 UNC thread, so it is the bit to reach for when you are tapping 3/8 coarse thread in steel or aluminum.
3) Does the Irwin 60522 need a center punch to start, or will it walk?
The 118 degree chisel-tip point is ground to start clean and resist walking on contact, so on wood and plastic you can start it freehand. On smooth or hard metal a center punch mark is still good practice, since a 118 degree point is a flatter general-purpose grind rather than a self-centering split point.
4) Is the Irwin 60522 sold as a single bit or part of a set?
It ships as an individual bit, model 60522, in the 11/32 in. size only. If you need a graduated range you would buy an index set instead; this is the one-size replacement for a bit you have broken or worn out.
5) Should I use a jobber-length bit or a shorter screw-machine bit for drilling in tight spaces?
Jobber length, like the Irwin 60522, is the standard general-purpose length and balances reach against rigidity, which is what you want for most hole depths. If you are working inside a panel, a stud bay, or anywhere the drill body will not clear, a short screw-machine or stubby bit is the better choice because the shorter flute flexes less and needs less clearance behind the hole.
6) Can the Irwin 60522 be resharpened when it gets dull?
Yes, it is solid high-speed steel with no carbide insert or plating to lose, so it can be re-ground on a drill grinder or bench grinder jig. Keep the original 118 degree included angle and match both lips evenly, otherwise the hole will come out oversize.
7) What part number do I order to restock the 11/32 Irwin jobber bit?
Order Irwin 60522. That is the manufacturer part number for the 11/32 in. jobber-length HSS bit, sold individually, so it is the number to put on a repeat MRO or crib order.
