6-23mm HSS Taper Shank Twist Drill Bit

Maximize efficiency in your heavy-duty drilling operations with our industrial series of Rolled Taper Shank Twist Drill Bits. Manufactured from high-grade HSS 6542 (M2 equivalent High-Speed Steel), these bits are designed to deliver reliable performance, high wear resistance, and excellent "red hardness" for demanding metalworking environments.

The roll-forging process used to create these drills preserves the inherent grain structure of the steel, offering superior toughness and resistance to snapping compared to standard ground drills in heavy-feed applications. Featuring a standard Morse Taper (MT) shank, these bits ensure a rigid, zero-slip connection in lathe tailstocks, radial arm drills, and magnetic drilling machines, allowing for maximum torque transfer.

Available in a comprehensive metric range from 13mm to 23mm diameter, these drills are the workhorse solution for fabricators and machine shops requiring reliable hole-making in mild steel, cast iron, aluminum, and various alloys.

Key Features & Benefits

  ●   High-Speed Steel 6542 Construction: Utilizes premium M2-grade HSS for an optimal balance of hardness, toughness, and heat resistance during continuous drilling.

  ●   Roll-Forged Process: The rolling manufacturing technique enhances the structural integrity of the bit, providing excellent durability for general-purpose industrial use.

  ●   Secure Morse Taper Shank: The precision tapered shank locks firmly into machine spindles (e.g., MT2, MT3 based on size), preventing slippage under high-torque loads.

  ●   Optimized for Chip Evacuation: The standard helical flute design efficiently clears heavy chips from deep holes, reducing heat buildup.

  ●   Versatile Surface Finishes:

         ●   Nitrided (Black): Increases surface hardness and lubricant retention (as seen in the product image).

         ●   Polished (Bright): For clean cutting in softer materials.

         ●   Black & White: A dual finish combining groove capability with land wear resistance.

Ideal Applications

  ●   Heavy-duty fabrication shops.

  ●   Industrial maintenance and repair.

  ●   Machining steel plates, I-beams, and castings.

  ●   Drilling operations on lathes and radial arm drills.
