18 #SCREW MACHINE - KnKut

The KnKut KK7-18 #18 Screw Machine Length Drill Bit is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for precision and durability in demanding industrial and automotive applications. Manufactured in the USA, this drill bit is designed to deliver reliable performance in challenging materials and confined spaces. Its robust construction and specialized design make it an essential component for any professional technician's toolkit.

Key Features

• Premium Material Construction: Crafted from high-grade Hi-Molybdendum high-speed steel with high vanadium content for exceptional strength and wear resistance.
• Surface Treatment: Salt nitride treated, penetrating the tool's surface to provide superior hardness for drilling tough materials like stainless steel and titanium alloy. The gold surface treatment also provides maximum lubricity, enhancing performance and tool life.
• 135° Split Point Tip: Features a 135° split point tip that allows for accurate starts without the need for a center punch or pilot hole, reducing bit walking and improving drilling accuracy.
• Stubby Length Design: Its short stubby length, with a flute length of 1-1/16 inches and an overall length of 2-1/8 inches, provides increased rigidity, significantly reducing deflection and breakage compared to longer bits.
• Reduced Breakage: The shorter flute and overall length contribute to a more rigid drill bit, minimizing deflection and potential breakage during heavy-duty use.

Applications

The KnKut KK7-18 is ideal for professional technicians and mechanics working in tight clearance areas where longer drill bits are impractical. Its design makes it particularly effective for use with right-angle drills. This drill bit excels in drilling through challenging materials, including stainless steel and titanium alloys, commonly found in automotive components, industrial machinery, and other demanding repair or fabrication tasks.
