The Faithfull Blacksmiths 22mm Professional Drill Bit is engineered for metalworkers and tradespeople who require a robust, high-performance tool for heavy-duty drilling applications. Crafted from M2 High-Speed Steel (HSS), this bit excels at penetrating tough materials like stainless steel and cast iron, though its large 22mm diameter necessitates a powerful drill and steady control to prevent binding. It serves as an ideal solution for professionals working with bench or handheld drills that can accommodate its 12.7mm reduced shank design.

Yes, it features a reduced 12.7mm shank specifically designed for 13mm capacity chucks.
Yes, while designed for metal, this bit will perform effectively in wood, though a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splintering.
Yes, the M2 HSS construction is suitable for stainless steel, provided you use low speeds and proper cutting fluid.
The overall length of this drill bit is 150mm.
No, this bit is designed for rotary drilling only. Using a hammer drill setting will likely damage the bit and reduce the accuracy of the hole.
Your RPM is likely too high for the material. Reduce the drill speed and apply adequate cutting oil to keep the bit cool.
Use a center punch to create a deep divot before starting, or drill a smaller pilot hole to guide the 22mm bit accurately.
You are applying too much pressure. Let the cutting edges of the bit do the work, and ensure you have cleared the metal chips from the hole.
To ensure the longevity of your M2 HSS bit, always verify that your drill’s chuck is securely tightened around the 12.7mm shank. The bit is compatible with most 13mm chucked handheld drills and stationary bench drills. When not in use, store the bit in a dry, organized tool tray to prevent damage to the cutting edges. If you notice dullness, avoid pushing harder; instead, use a bench grinder to carefully resharpen the cutting angle, ensuring you maintain the original tip geometry.
