The Bosch HSS Reduced Shank Blacksmiths PointTeQ Drill Bit in 16.5mm is designed for professionals tackling larger diameter holes in metal with speed and precision. Suitable for clearance and pilot holes in alloyed and non-alloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, cast steel, cast iron, and plastics. The PointTeQ self-centering tip prevents the bit from drifting at the point of entry, ensuring accurate starts every time. Its increased drilling rate limits heat generation and wear, keeping the tip consistently sharp over an extended service life. The cylindrical shank is compatible with three-jaw drill chucks and works with both drill stands and drill drivers. Built to DIN 338 with a Type N flute angle, this bit features a highly elastic body that resists breakage and a black-oxide coated flute that clears chips swiftly and efficiently.
