Drill bit STHOR 23396, 600 mm length, single piece

STHOR 23396 is a 600 mm long drill bit supplied as a single piece. Designed for tasks that require extended reach, this straight-shank bit fits standard compatible drill chucks and holders. Its length allows drilling in deep recesses, through thick panels or when access is limited, while being suitable for work in construction, carpentry and general metal or wood drilling where a long shaft is needed.

Advantages

The long 600 mm shaft provides extended reach for deep or hard-to-access drilling points without the need for extensions. Being sold as a single piece makes it easy to replace or keep as a spare. The straight-shank design ensures compatibility with a wide range of chucks and holders. The simple, single-piece construction offers straightforward handling and predictable performance when used with appropriate drill speeds and support.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep holes in timber and plywood
• Through-drilling in construction materials and panels
• Accessing recessed fastener points in carpentry
• Metal and light alloy drilling where extended reach is needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 600 mm
• Pack quantity: single piece
• Shank type: straight shank for standard chucks
• Intended use: drilling in wood, metal and construction materials

How to use

Install the drill bit in a compatible drill chuck, ensuring the shank is fully seated and tightened. Select appropriate drill speed and feed rate for the material: lower speeds for harder metals, medium-to-high speeds for wood and softer materials. When drilling deep holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear swarf and reduce heat buildup. Use steady axial pressure and maintain alignment to avoid bending the long shank.

Usage recommendations

For safer and more accurate results with the 600 mm bit, use drill supports or guides when possible to prevent runout and bending. When drilling metal, apply cutting fluid to prolong tool life and reduce heat. Store the single-piece bit in a protective sleeve or toolbox compartment to keep the tip undamaged between uses.
