- YG1 HSS Taper Shank Twist Drill 270x90 mm
- A taper shank twist drill is another drill bit designed for drilling machines with a tapered spindle, such as a drill press or a milling machine. The key feature of a taper shank drill is the tapered shank, which allows the training to be inserted into the tapered spindle of the device. This design provides a secure and precise fit, ensuring stability during the drilling process
- Tapered Shank: The shank of the drill bit is tapered, meaning it gradually decreases in diameter from the cutting end (where the flutes are) towards the non-cutting end (where it is inserted into the machine spindle). The taper allows for a tight and secure fit in the machine's spindle
- Flute Design: Like parallel shank twist drills, taper shank drills have helical flutes that aid in chip removal and cutting efficiency. The flutes are the grooves or channels that spiral along the length of the drill bit
- Machine Compatibility: Taper shank twist drills are specifically designed for machines with matching spindle tapers. This design ensures precision and stability during drilling operations
- Applications: Taper shank drills are commonly used in industrial settings for drilling larger diameter holes in materials like metal, wood, and plastics. They are often employed in machining operations that require precision and accuracy
- Installation: A taper shank twist drill is inserted into the tapered spindle of the drilling machine. The taper provides a self-holding feature, but additional securing methods, such as a drawbar, may be used to ensure the drill is held firmly in place
