Description
Overview:
The Timco HSS Blacksmith Drill is a robust, reduced‐shank drill bit designed for accurate drilling in metal and plastics. Made from high‐speed steel and finished with a Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating, it offers dependable wear resistance and helps manage heat during longer cuts. With a 13.5mm cutting diameter and 160mm overall length, it provides a good balance of rigidity and reach for workshop and site use. The 12.5mm shank features three flats to stop the bit slipping in the chuck, making it reliable in handheld drills, drill presses, and pillar drills that accept 13mm chucks. Suitable for alloy steel, cast iron, non‐ferrous metals such as aluminium and brass, and many engineering plastics, it is a practical choice for tradespeople and DIY users who need consistent results.
Key Features:
- 13.5mm diameter for precise, clean holes in common metals and plastics
- 160mm overall length for stable drilling with reduced flex
- High‐speed steel (HSS) construction for strength and re‐sharpenability
- Titanium Nitride coating to reduce wear and assist heat control
- 12.5mm reduced shank with three flats for a secure, anti‐slip grip
- Fits standard 13mm keyed or keyless chucks on handheld and bench machines
- Suitable for alloy steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, and many plastics
- Stable performance for both slow‐speed, high‐torque and general drilling
- Smooth flute geometry helps chip evacuation and consistent hole quality
- Reliable option for site work, maintenance, and fabrication tasks
Typical Applications:
Ideal for drilling clearance and fixing holes in steel plate, brackets, sections, and angle iron on construction sites and in workshops. Useful for machinery maintenance, fabrication, railings and gate work, vehicle and agricultural repairs, and fitting anchors or fixings in metal fabrications. Also suitable for controlled drilling in engineering plastics where a sharp, rigid bit is required.
