MAKITA D-22218 HSS-G Metal Drill Bit 31/64" x 5-7/8"

MAKITA D-22218  HSS-G Metal Drill Bit Size 31/64x5-7/8 Inch (5 pcs)
Features: The D-22218 drill bit is designed for industrial applications and professional tradesmen who require precision when drilling large holes. Made from High-Speed Steel (HSS) and fully ground across both the cutting edge and flutes, it provides excellent surface finish and superior chip evacuation compared to rolled drill bits. With its 135 Split Point Geometry, this drill bit starts drilling metal immediately without the need for a center punch and reduces bit walking on smooth surfaces. It is a durable drill bit offering a long service life.                    

(Key Features)
135 Split Point Geometry: A key feature that allows the bit to start drilling quickly without walking on metal surfaces, reducing drilling pressure. Fully Ground Construction (HSS-G): Precision-ground manufacturing ensures an exceptionally sharp and accurate cutting edge, along with a smooth surface that reduces friction. Easy Chip Evacuation: Precision-ground flutes efficiently channel metal chips away from the hole, facilitating smooth, continuous drilling. Long Service Life: Resistant to heavy use and high heat, making it ideal for demanding, heavy-duty metalworking applications.

(Applications)
The MAKITA D-22218 HSS-G drill bit is suitable for a wide range of industrial and workshop applications: Carbon Steel and Cast Iron: Ideal for drilling large holes that require depth and precision. Stainless Steel: Excellent for drilling stainless steel when used with appropriate coolant and RPM. Non-Ferrous Metals: Such as aluminum, brass, and copper. Maintenance and Repair: Used in shipyards, structural work, machine shops, and automotive applications.
