Bosch PointTeQ High-Speed Steel Twist Drill Bit 18 mm (Cylindrical Shank)

The Bosch HSS PointTeQ Twist Drill Bit 18 mm (cylindrical shank) is a single-piece accessory forged from high-speed steel. It is designed for standard drilling in metalwork. Made from metalworking steel, the bit handles the friction generated during heavy use. Users can apply it reliably to solid steel and cast iron workpieces. It fits conventional power drills and drivers. Operating with a standard right-hand rotation, it integrates directly with existing workshop equipment.

To ensure secure mounting in a standard chuck, the bit uses a traditional cylindrical shank. The twist drill profile supports efficient material evacuation as the hole deepens. During use, the bit offers a maximum working length of 130 mm to penetrate thicker metal sections. Measuring 191 mm from the shank end to the cutting tip, it provides substantial reach. This overall length gives the operator enough clearance for accessing recessed drilling points. The geometry keeps the bit stable throughout the material removal process.

• 18 mm standard drilling diameter creates wide clearance holes in structural metalwork.
• 12 mm shank diameter fits compatible three-jaw chucks securely under heavy loads.
• 135-degree point angle establishes an accurate centre to prevent the bit from wandering on start-up.
• Two active cutting edges shear through material to maintain a consistent feed rate.
• Rated for standard rotary action only; not suitable for high-impact hammer drilling modes.
