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
