                        Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS 18.0 mm Reduced Shank
A robust 18.0 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit with a reduced shank design, allowing it to be used in chucks that can’t grip the full diameter. Suitable for heavy-duty drilling in metals, fabrication, and general workshop environments.
Features
- Cutting diameter: 18.0 mm
 - Reduced shank for compatibility with smaller chucks
 - High-speed steel (HSS) construction for strength and durability
 - Twist / flute geometry for efficient chip removal
 - Single unit, carded format
 
Benefits
- Allows use of a large-diameter bit even when chuck capacity is limited
 - Reliable performance across substances like steel, aluminium, plastics
 - Maintains alignment and stability even with reduced shank

Extra Information
- Ensure the chuck fully grips the reduced shank section to prevent slippage
 - Use suitable speeds and feeds for material—lower RPM for harder metals
 - Withdraw periodically during deep drilling to clear chips and reduce heat
 
Pro Tip
- Use a center punch or pilot hole to guide the bit and reduce wandering
 - Check run-out after mounting—small misalignment is magnified at larger diameter
