Ø12.4 mm HSS metal drill bit – Morse taper MT1

Product description and key benefits

The Ø12.4 mm NWKc twist drill is distinguished by its mounting method — the MT1 Morse taper eliminates the intermediate component between the tool and the spindle. This results in lower radial runout and improved repeatability of hole dimensions. The Ø12.4 Morse taper drill with a high-speed steel (HSS) cutting edge retains its working hardness up to 600°C, allowing drilling without the risk of tempering the cutting edge.

Key benefits of the Ø12.4 mm metal drill bit

  • Eliminates the drill chuck — the MT1 taper seated directly in the spindle shortens the torque transmission path and reduces radial tool runout
  • Heat resistance up to 600°C — the high-speed steel cutting edge retains its working hardness even at higher cutting speeds in soft and medium-hard steels
  • Interchangeability to DIN 345 — identical taper dimensions across manufacturers allow drill replacement without calibrating the spindle axis
  • Short design (l1 = 182 mm) — reduced tool overhang provides greater rigidity and a better hole surface finish than extended-length drills
  • Holes for locating pins and bushings — the h8 tolerance grade provides a repeatable preliminary size before finish reaming to an H7 fit
  • Low operating cost — can be resharpened repeatedly on a tool grinder without losing cutting geometry while maintaining the 118° angle

The Ø12.4 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 (Ø12.400–Ø12.580 mm); if class H7 is required, additional reaming is necessary.

Coolant for drilling steel

The Ø12.4 mm HSS drill requires cooling with a 5–8% emulsion when drilling structural steels. Dry drilling reduces cutting edge life by 50–70% and reduces hole surface quality. Minimum coolant flow: 2 l/min.

Material compatibility of the Ø12.4 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 Ø12.4 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 Ø12.4 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.
