EL-CUT HSS Drill Bit 25.00 mm, MK3 Taper Shank, 160/281 mm

The EL-CUT HSS drill bit with a 25.00 mm diameter is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for high-performance drilling in metal. Featuring a robust MK3 Morse taper shank, this drill bit ensures secure and stable mounting in industrial drilling machines and lathes. The high-speed steel construction combined with an oxidized finish enhances the tool's surface hardness, providing superior wear resistance and extended service life during demanding drilling operations.

Advantages

This drill bit offers exceptional stability and precision due to its Morse taper shank design, which minimizes vibration and ensures accurate hole alignment. The high-speed steel material maintains its cutting edge integrity even under significant thermal stress, making it highly reliable for repetitive industrial tasks. The oxidized surface treatment serves as a protective layer that reduces friction and prevents chip welding, allowing for smoother material removal and improved overall efficiency in metalworking applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in structural steel and cast iron
• Heavy-duty industrial metalworking
• Operations requiring high torque and stability
• Use with stationary drilling machines and lathes equipped with MK3 spindles

This drill bit is not suitable for handheld power drills, as it requires a machine with a Morse taper spindle for secure attachment. It is also not intended for drilling hardened steel or non-metallic materials like wood or masonry, as the geometry and material composition are specifically optimized for metal cutting.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 25.00 mm
• Shank type: MK3 Morse taper
• Working length: 160 mm
• Total length: 281 mm
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Finish: Oxidized

To use this drill bit, ensure that the machine spindle is clean and free of debris before inserting the MK3 taper shank. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or clamp to prevent movement during the drilling process. Apply appropriate cutting fluid or coolant to the drill tip to manage heat buildup and prolong the life of the cutting edge. Start the machine at a suitable speed for the material being drilled and apply steady, controlled pressure to achieve a clean hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drilling machine or lathe is compatible with an MK3 taper shank
• Ensure the 25.00 mm diameter meets your specific project requirements
• Check that the machine has sufficient power to handle a 25 mm drill bit in metal

Usage recommendations: Always monitor the condition of the cutting edge and sharpen the drill bit when signs of dulling appear to maintain optimal performance and prevent excessive heat generation.
