HSS Reduced Shank Drill 16.00mm – Somta Series 175
The SOMTA 1751600 – 16.00 mm HSS Reduced Shank Drill is a versatile, high-performance drill designed to provide large-diameter cutting while fitting into standard drill chucks. Manufactured from high-grade High-Speed Steel (HSS), this drill features a reduced shank (commonly 12.7 mm / ½″) to allow compatibility with handheld drills and drill presses that cannot accept full-diameter shanks. With a 118° point angle for easy centering and precision-ground flutes for chip evacuation, it’s ideal for general-purpose use in metal, plastic, and wood.
