Ø3.8 mm HSS metal drill bit – Morse taper MT1

Product description and key benefits

The Ø3.8 mm NWKc twist drill with an MT1 taper is designed for precision drilling in structural steels on pillar drilling machines. The Morse taper shank provides secure, self-holding seating in the spindle — eliminating the risk of the tool slipping rotationally under increased cutting torque. With a flute length of 43 mm, the Ø3.8 Morse taper drill allows through holes to be drilled in typical shop sections and sheet metal.

Key benefits of the Ø3.8 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 43 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 = 43 mm, the resharpening allowance is approximately 5 mm

The Ø3.8 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 (Ø3.800–Ø3.920 mm); if class H7 is required, additional reaming is necessary.

REDUCTION SLEEVES COMPATIBLE WITH THE Ø3.8 MM DRILL BIT:

✓ MT1 → MT2 — for a spindle with an MT2 socket
✓ MT1 → MT3 — for a spindle with an MT3 socket
✓ MT1 drill drift — for removing the drill bit from the spindle

Checking radial runout

Before drilling with the Ø3.8 mm drill, check radial runout in the spindle — the maximum permissible value is 0.02 mm. Excessive runout reduces hole quality and accelerates cutting edge wear. The taper and spindle socket must be clean and dry.

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 Ø3.8 mm drill bit

The Ø3.8 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.

The maximum drilling depth is the flute length l2 = 43 mm minus the drill point length (approximately 1 mm). The effective usable depth is therefore approximately 42 mm.
