                        Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 16,5.0 mm Reduced Shank
A strong, precision-made 16,5.0 mm drill bit constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), featuring a reduced shank design. Ideal where full-diameter bits won’t fit the chuck, yet large hole diameters are required—suitable for metal, fabrication, and general workshop use.
Features
- Cutting diameter: 16,5.0 mm
 - Reduced shank to allow use in chucks with limited grip capacity
 - HSS construction for edge retention and toughness
 - Twist/flute geometry to clear chips efficiently
 - Single carded unit — 1 per card
 
Benefits
- Enable use of large-diameter bits in smaller chucks via reduced shank
 - Reliable performance across metals and general materials
 - Maintains alignment and straight cutting—even with reduced shank

Extra Information
- Ensure full chuck grip on reduced shank to avoid slipping under torque
 - Choose speed appropriate to material—lower RPMs for steel, higher for softer materials
 - Withdraw the bit occasionally during deep drilling to clear chips and cool the bit
 
Pro Tip
- Use a pilot hole or center punch to keep the bit from drifting when cutting metal
 - Check run-out after mounting—any misalignment increases visibility at 16,5 mm diameter
