Benefits

• Flexibility: reduced shank allows use with smaller chucks while having large cutting diameter where needed.
• Robust cutting: suitable for tougher jobs in steel, aluminium, plastics or general use.
• Reliable performance: HSS resists wear and maintains sharp edges under load.

Extra Information

• Check that the shank reduction is compatible with the chuck being used to avoid slippage.
• Use appropriate cutting speed, especially for metals—slower RPM for harder materials.
• Clear chips frequently to reduce heat and preserve tool life.

Safety

• Wear eye protection while drilling.
• Secure the workpiece before drilling.
• Use moderate feed pressure—don’t force the bit, especially at large diameters.
• Ensure the drill is at full speed before contacting the surface.
