Description
Overview:
The HSS Blacksmith Drill, 1" (25.4 mm) with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) parallel shank, is a heavy-duty twist drill for producing large, accurate holes in metal. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it offers good heat resistance and wear life under typical workshop speeds and feeds. The reduced, parallel shank allows the large 1" diameter to be driven by machines fitted with a standard 13 mm (1/2") chuck, making it practical for drill presses, pillar drills, and suitable hand-held drills. It is right-hand cutting with a conventional two-flute form for reliable chip clearance. Sold individually under MPN 825352, it is a straightforward choice for tradespeople and DIY users needing consistent results in general steel and other common engineering materials.
Key Features:
- 1" (25.4 mm) cutting diameter with a 1/2" (12.7 mm) parallel, reduced shank for use in 13 mm chucks
- High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance in metalworking
- Two-flute twist geometry for stable guidance and effective swarf evacuation
- Right-hand cutting for use in standard drills and drill presses
- Suitable for general steels, cast iron, aluminium, and certain plastics (use appropriate speeds and cutting fluid)
- Parallel shank provides secure grip and steady torque transmission in quality chucks
- Capable of creating large, round holes with good dimensional accuracy when properly fixtured
- Works in pillar drills, bench drill presses, and hand-held drills with adequate power
- Robust build to handle workshop and site tasks when used within recommended parameters
- Supplied individually (MPN 825352) for easy replacement or one-off jobs
Typical Applications:
Steel fabrication, blacksmithing, gate and railing manufacture, agricultural and plant maintenance, trailer repairs, bracket and plate work, and general workshop jobs where a large-diameter hole is required in mild steel or similar materials. Ideal for use in a drill press with cutting fluid for best hole quality and tool life.
