Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 18.0 mm Reduced Shank
A robust 18.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit with a reduced shank design, allowing it to be used in chucks that can’t grip the full diameter. Suitable for heavy-duty drilling in metals, fabrication, and general workshop environments.
Extra Information
- Ensure the chuck fully grips the reduced shank section to prevent slippage
- Use suitable speeds and feeds for material—lower RPM for harder metals
- Withdraw periodically during deep drilling to clear chips and reduce heat
Pro Tip
- Use a center punch or pilot hole to guide the bit and reduce wandering
- Check run-out after mounting—small misalignment is magnified at larger diameter
Features
- Cutting diameter: 18.0 mm
- Reduced shank for compatibility with smaller chucks
- High-speed steel (HSS) construction for strength and durability
- Twist / flute geometry for efficient chip removal
- Single unit, carded format
Benefits
- Allows use of a large-diameter bit even when chuck capacity is limited
- Reliable performance across substances like steel, aluminium, plastics
- Maintains alignment and stability even with reduced shank
Safety
- Wear eye protection when operating the drill
- Ensure the workpiece is firmly secured to avoid movement
- Use steady feed pressure—do not force the bit into the material
- Allow the drill to reach full speed before engaging the material
