The Bosch HSS Reduced Shank Blacksmiths PointTeQ Drill Bit in 18mm is built for heavy-duty metalworking applications requiring large, clean holes. 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 provides immediate, accurate entry, eliminating wandering and delivering fast drilling starts. The increased drilling rate minimises heat generation and wear for sustained tip sharpness and longer tool life. A cylindrical shank provides compatibility with three-jaw drill chucks, making the bit suitable for drill stands and drill drivers. DIN 338 compliant with a Type N flute angle, the highly elastic body reduces the risk of breakage and the black-oxide coated flute keeps chip removal fast and efficient throughout.
