Description
Overview:
The Timco HSS Blacksmith Drill is a heavy‐duty, reduced‐shank twist drill designed for accurate, clean drilling in metal and plastics. With a 19.5mm cutting diameter and 160mm overall length, it is made from high‐speed steel (HSS) and finished with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating to improve wear resistance and reduce friction. The 12.5mm shank has three flats for a secure grip in standard 13mm chucks, helping prevent spin in both corded and cordless drills, as well as drill presses and pillar drills. This blacksmith‐pattern design lets you create larger holes using smaller chucks, making it a versatile choice for site work and workshop use. Suitable for alloy steel, cast iron, non‐ferrous metals, and plastics. Manufacturer's part number: BS195.
Key Features:
- 19.5mm diameter and 160mm overall length for larger hole drilling in compact setups
- 12.5mm reduced shank with three flats to minimise slippage and improve torque transfer
- High‐speed steel (HSS) construction for strength, heat resistance, and reliable edge holding
- Titanium nitride (TiN) coating helps reduce friction and increases tool life
- Blacksmith pattern enables large‐diameter drilling with a standard 13mm chuck
- Smooth flute geometry supports efficient chip removal and stable cutting
- Suitable for alloy steel, cast iron, aluminium, brass, and engineering plastics
- Works in hand drills, drill presses, and pillar drills across workshop or site environments
- Re‐sharpenable HSS tip for extended service life when maintained correctly
- Best results in metals when used with appropriate cutting fluid and controlled speeds
Typical Applications:
Fabrication and structural work, beam and plate drilling, maintenance and repair jobs, gate and trailer building, agricultural and plant repairs, bracket and fixture installation, and enlarging existing holes in section steel, angle, and box. Equally useful in general workshop tasks where a precise, larger‐diameter hole is needed using a standard 13mm chuck.
