A single 11/32 inch impact-ready drill bit with a pilot point tip and titanium nitride coating. The pilot point reduces bit walking for easier starts, the TiN coating increases wear resistance, and the flute geometry and tapered web are intended to improve chip evacuation and bit strength. Intended for use in metal, wood, plastic and similar materials.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Bolt-On Retrofit Service
Offer on-site drilling and hardware retrofits for contractors and property managers—adding 11/32-inch clearance holes for 5/16 bolts on truck racks, gates, shelving, and brackets. The impact-rated hex shank speeds field work with an impact driver, while the pilot point ensures accurate starts on painted or curved metal.
Custom Mounting Plates and Brackets
Produce small-batch steel/aluminum plates with a precision 11/32-inch hole grid for makers, AV installers, and photographers. Market as universal ‘cheese plates’ and bracket blanks. The TiN-coated bit improves throughput and hole quality, reducing deburring time and scrap rates.
Flat-Pack Furniture Kits with 5/16 Hardware
Design and sell DIY bench, shelf, and sawhorse kits that assemble using common 5/16 bolts. Pre-drill 11/32 clearance holes for customers or include the bit in premium kits. Emphasize easy assembly with an impact driver and repeatable, tight-fitting connections.
Workshop Classes: Precision Drilling in Metal
Host paid classes teaching layout, clamping, lubrication, speed control, and accurate drilling in metal. Demonstrate how a pilot-point TiN-coated bit reduces walking and wear. Upsell materials kits and a take-home bit, and capture recurring revenue through memberships.
Facility Maintenance and Safety Upgrades
Package a service for warehouses and schools to add or relocate 5/16 bolted attachments—signage, guards, cable trays, and handrail brackets. The 11/32 bit size is ideal for standard 5/16 fasteners, and the impact-ready shank enables fast ladder and lift work with fewer tool changes.
Creative
Universal Cheese Plate Camera Rig
Lay out a 1-inch grid of 11/32-inch holes in an aluminum or steel plate to make a lightweight, versatile mounting plate for cameras, lights, and accessories. The pilot point keeps holes exactly on layout marks, and the TiN coating handles repeated drilling in metal. The 11/32 size gives ideal clearance for 5/16 bolts, knobs, and carriage bolts used in rigging.
Knock-Down 2x4 Workbench
Build a sturdy, flat-pack workbench that assembles with 5/16-inch hardware. Drill 11/32-inch clearance holes through aprons and legs so the bench can be bolted together and broken down for moves. The pilot point prevents bit skating on knots or metal brackets, and the hex shank lets you switch from drilling to driving in an impact driver quickly.
EMT Conduit Garden Trellis
Make a modular trellis or tomato cage system from EMT conduit. Drill clean 11/32-inch pass-throughs for 5/16 bolts at intersections to create T- and X-joints. The pilot point bites curved conduit without walking, and the TiN coating stands up to galvanization and thin steel walls for a tidy, burr-minimized hole.
Steel Pegboard-Style Tool Rack
Create a custom wall rack by drilling a repeating pattern of 11/32-inch holes into flat bar or sheet steel. Use 5/16 carriage bolts as removable pegs/hooks. The optimized flutes evacuate chips efficiently in metal, keeping holes clean and repeatable so your grid stays square and functional.
Knife Handle Scales with 5/16 Mosaic Pins
Fit decorative 5/16-inch mosaic pins by drilling 11/32-inch holes through handle scales and tang for a precise, glue-friendly clearance fit. The 135° pilot point reduces walk on hardened tangs, and the TiN-coated HSS keeps a keen edge through stainless and tool steels.
