This 17.5 x 190mm HSS Roll Forged Blacksmith Drill Bit is designed for blacksmiths and metalworkers needing to drill deep holes with precision. Its key benefit is the reduced shank, which ensures compatibility with standard drill chucks, offering great versatility. A potential caveat is that its specialized nature may not be suitable for general-purpose drilling tasks outside of metalworking. The drill bit features a durable black oxide finish for enhanced longevity and a generous working length for deep penetration.

This drill bit is specifically designed for blacksmithing and metalworking applications, suitable for drilling into various types of metal.
Yes, due to its reduced shank design, it is compatible with most standard drill chucks found on handheld drills and drill presses.
The bit has a working length of 130mm, allowing you to drill holes up to that depth.
HSS stands for High-Speed Steel. 'Roll Forged' refers to the manufacturing process which creates a stronger, more durable grain structure in the steel, enhancing the bit's toughness and lifespan.
The black oxide finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and improves lubricity, which helps in reducing friction and heat during drilling, leading to a longer tool life and cleaner cuts.
It is supplied in a plastic wallet for easy storage. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust and protect the cutting edges.
While technically possible, this drill bit is optimized for metal. For wood, a drill bit specifically designed for wood would generally yield better results and require less effort.
Ensure you are using adequate cutting fluid or lubricant. Check if the drill speed is appropriate for the metal type; slower speeds are often better for harder metals. Verify the drill bit is sharp and not dull. Ensure the drill chuck is providing sufficient grip.
Verify that the drill bit is correctly and securely seated in the drill chuck. Ensure the drill press or drill itself is not worn or damaged. For handheld drills, try to maintain a perpendicular angle to the workpiece.
This is normal wear over time with heavy use. To prevent rust, ensure the bit is cleaned and dried thoroughly after each use and stored in a dry place. Apply a light coat of oil if storing for extended periods.
Setup: Securely fasten the drill bit into the chuck of your drill press or handheld drill. Ensure the chuck is tightened firmly to prevent slippage, especially when drilling into hard materials.
Compatibility: This drill bit features a reduced shank, making it compatible with most standard drill chucks found on common power drills and drill presses. It is designed for use with metalworking tasks.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
