Description
Overview:
The HSS Blacksmith Drill is a large-diameter metal drilling bit sized at 11/16" (17.46 mm) with a reduced 1/2" (12.7 mm) parallel shank. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it provides good hardness retention and wear resistance when drilling common engineering metals. The reduced shank allows the bit to be used in standard 13 mm keyed or keyless chucks found on handheld drills and drill presses. Its straight shank and robust body help maintain accuracy when opening out existing holes or drilling new ones in steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. Finished in black, it is supplied as a single piece and marked as LAST STOCK. Manufacturer Part Number: 825350.
Key Features:
- HSS construction for durability and consistent cutting performance in metal.
- 11/16" (17.46 mm) cutting diameter for larger holes with a reduced 1/2" (12.7 mm) parallel shank for compatibility with 13 mm chucks.
- Straight (parallel) shank provides a secure grip and stable running in handheld and bench drills.
- Suitable for drilling mild steel, cast iron, aluminium, and other common metals; use appropriate speeds and cutting fluid for best results.
- Black finish for an easy-to-identify professional look.
- Useful for enlarging existing holes as well as drilling from pilot sizes.
- Sold individually so you can order exactly the quantity required.
- MPN: 825350 for easy reordering and identification.
- Marked as LAST STOCK, ideal for topping up workshop spares while available.
Typical Applications:
General fabrication and site work, steel erection and bracketry, machinery repair, agricultural equipment maintenance, trailer and chassis work, gate and railing manufacture, and workshop tasks requiring accurate larger-diameter holes using a handheld drill, magnetic drill, or pillar drill.
