IRWIN HSS TCT Tip Drill Bit 16mm (180mm Length)
Precision IRWIN TCT drill bit (16mm) for hardened steel & alloys. 180mm length, carbide tip for durability.
The IRWIN Metric TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) Drill Bit is engineered for precision drilling in tough materials when used with stationary machines. Its cutting edge is perfect for hardened steel, cast iron, bronze alloys, and manganese alloyed steel, making it a versatile tool for professional and industrial applications.
Featuring a C2 Carbide Tip, this drill bit can handle materials up to 50 Rockwell C hardness. The four-facetted ground tip ensures low drilling pressure and perfect centring, enhancing accuracy and ease of use. The robust Chrome Vanadium Steel body, hardened to 56 Rockwell C, provides durability and resistance to wear.
Usage Tips
For optimal performance and longevity, always use a coolant when drilling with this TCT twist drill bit. Irwin recommends a 3-6% emulsion coolant, which helps maintain the bit’s efficiency and extends its lifespan. This practice reduces heat buildup and prevents premature wear.
