Ø6.8 mm HSS metal drill bit – Morse taper MT1

Product description and key benefits

The Ø6.8 mm HSS twist drill with an MT1 Morse taper is a standard cutting tool used for hole machining on drilling machines with tapered spindles. High-speed steel (HSS) retains its working hardness up to 600°C, allowing stable cutting of structural and low-alloy steels without the risk of tempering the cutting edge. The Ø6.8 Morse taper drill is selected where a drill chuck cannot transmit the full torque.

Key benefits of the Ø6.8 mm metal drill bit

  • Self-holding Morse taper — MT1 transmits torque without slippage — essential for prolonged batch drilling
  • HSS steel with a hardness of 63–65 HRC — the cutting edge retains its sharpness throughout the tool's service interval between sharpenings
  • Flute length 69 mm — the maximum drilling depth allows typical shop sections and sheet metal to be machined in a single pass
  • 118° point angle — self-centering in soft steels — eliminates the need for spot drilling on flat surfaces
  • Diameter tolerance h8 — repeatable hole size in batch and single-part production
  • Cutting edge reconditioning — repeated resharpening extends tool life — at l2 = 69 mm, the resharpening allowance is approximately 8 mm

The Ø6.8 Morse taper drill bit is most often selected for mounting holes in hollow sections, thick plates, and machine components. In toolrooms, it is used to prepare preliminary holes before reaming to a dowel pin fit. Holes are produced to tolerance class H12 (Ø6.800–Ø6.950 mm); if class H7 is required, additional reaming is necessary.

Drilling blind holes

When drilling blind holes with the Ø6.8 mm drill, allow for the drill point cone — the usable depth is approximately 2 mm less than the set depth. For holes deeper than 20 mm (3×D), retract the drill every 10 mm to clear chips from the flutes.

Material compatibility of the Ø6.8 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 Ø6.8 mm drill bit

A cooling and lubricating emulsion at a concentration of 5–8% is recommended. For stainless steels, increase the concentration to 8–10%. Cast iron can be drilled dry with compressed air to remove chips.

The Ø6.8 mm NWKc drill bit with an MT1 taper mounts directly in the drill press spindle — the self-holding taper eliminates slipping under high cutting torque. A straight shank drill bit requires a drill chuck, which may not transmit the full torque during heavy use.

Yes — using an MT1→MT2 reduction sleeve. The sleeve ensures proper seating of the taper in the larger spindle socket. Use a correctly sized drill drift for removal.
