Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS Morse Taper 18.0 mm × MT2
Industrial-grade 18.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bit featuring a Morse Taper 2 (MT2) shank. Ideal for mounting directly in MT2 taper spindles for aggressive, precise drilling in metal, cast iron, aluminium and plastics in workshop or machine settings.
Extra Information
- Always use cutting fluid when drilling ferrous metals to reduce heat and extend bit life.
 - Choose spindle speeds appropriate to the material's hardness.
 - Ensure taper and socket surfaces are clean before mounting to guarantee a secure fit.
 
Pro Tip
- Clean both the drill taper and socket thoroughly before insertion to avoid slippage or misalignment.
 - For deep cuts, back out the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent overheating.
 
Features
- 18.0 mm cutting diameter suitable for large bore applications.
 - Morse Taper-2 (MT2) shank for secure taper mounting in machines.
 - High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability, sharpness retention and heat resistance.
 - Precision flutes for effective chip removal and steady cutting.
 - Supplied individually (1 bit per card).
 
Benefits
- Direct taper usage: no adapter needed for MT2-compatible spindles.
 - Robust for heavy loads: built to perform under demanding drilling conditions.
 - High precision: taper mounting reduces run-out and improves hole quality.
 
Safety
- Wear eye protection during drilling operations.
 - Secure the workpiece firmly before starting.
 - Feed steadily—avoid forcing the bit.
 - Verify taper seating and alignment before applying full load.
