Tork Craft Drill Bit — HSS Standard 13.5 mm (Reduced Shank)
Heavy-duty 13.5 mm high-speed steel (HSS) drill bit with a **reduced shank** design, allowing it to fit chucks with smaller capacity. Suited for general machining, fabrication, steel and other materials where a robust, large-diameter bit is needed.
Features
- 13.5 mm diameter — for larger holes in structural and mechanical work.
- Reduced shank — allows use in chucks that can’t grip the full diameter.
- High-speed steel construction — durable and suitable for a variety of materials.
- Standard twist flute geometry for efficient chip removal.
- Supplied as a single unit (1/card). Stock: 399 units :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Benefits
- Flexibility: reduced shank allows use with smaller chucks while having large cutting diameter where needed.
- Robust cutting: suitable for tougher jobs in steel, aluminium, plastics or general use.
- Reliable performance: HSS resists wear and maintains sharp edges under load.
Extra Information
- Check that the shank reduction is compatible with the chuck being used to avoid slippage.
- Use appropriate cutting speed, especially for metals—slower RPM for harder materials.
- Clear chips frequently to reduce heat and preserve tool life.
Pro Tip
- Always center-punch on metal work to help the 13.5 mm bit start accurately and prevent walking.
- Because of the reduced shank, ensure the chuck grips well and avoid over-torquing to prevent slippage.
