Ø18.5 mm HSS metal drill bit – Morse taper MT2

Product description and key benefits

The Ø18.5 mm NWKc twist drill with an MT2 taper is standard equipment for pillar drilling machines in metalworking shops and toolrooms. The 18.5 mm diameter falls within the range where the MT2 taper provides an optimal ratio of contact area to operating load. The Ø18.5 Morse taper drill with type N flute geometry balances efficient chip evacuation with drill web rigidity.

Key benefits of the Ø18.5 mm metal drill bit

  • Direct mounting in an MT2 spindle — eliminates the drill chuck as a source of runout and slippage
  • Flute length 135 mm — drilling through holes in workpieces up to 120 mm thick in a single pass
  • DIN 345 — identical taper dimensions regardless of manufacturer — full interchangeability
  • Type N right-hand helical flutes — a compromise between web rigidity and flute capacity
  • h8 diameter fit — preliminary holes for reaming to H7 without additional boring
  • Extended tool life with emulsion cooling — coolant increases cutting edge life by up to a factor of 2.5 compared with dry drilling

The Ø18.5 Morse taper drill is suitable for drilling holes in hollow sections, medium-thickness sheet metal, and components used in machinery repairs. H12 tolerance (Ø18.500–Ø18.710 mm) is sufficient for assembly holes; if H7 tolerance is required, additional reaming is necessary.

Mounting the drill in the spindle

Before mounting the Ø18.5 mm drill, remove chips, oil, and contaminants from the taper and spindle socket. Residue between the contact surfaces causes radial runout and can damage the spindle socket.

Material compatibility of the Ø18.5 mm drill bit

Range of workpiece materials and application limitations

✓ Structural steel (S235, S355) up to 900 N/mm²
✓ Gray and ductile cast iron (GG20, GGG40)
✓ Low-carbon and medium-alloy steel
▲ Stainless steel (Vc reduced by 40%, ample coolant)
▲ Aluminum and Al alloys (emulsion coolant required)
✗ Hardened steels above 45 HRC

Frequently asked questions about the Ø18.5 mm drill bit

Use cooling with a 5–8% emulsion, do not exceed the recommended cutting parameters, and resharpen the tool before it becomes completely dull. Clean taper and spindle socket surfaces reduce runout — the main cause of accelerated wear.

In S235/S355 structural steels, spot drilling is not necessary — the 118° angle provides self-centering. Spotting with a 90° NC spotting drill is recommended when drilling on uneven or inclined surfaces, where the drill may slip away from the marked point.

The HSS drill can be used for stainless steel with Vc reduced by 40% and ample cooling with a 8–10% emulsion. An HSSE (cobalt) drill of the same diameter is a more efficient option, retaining its hardness up to 650°C.
