Reduced Shank
Reduced shank drill bits feature a smaller diameter shank compared to the cutting end, allowing them to fit into standard drill chucks while providing the functionality of larger bits. This design enhances stability during drilling, particularly in harder materials, and is ideal for applications where larger holes are needed but only a standard chuck can be accommodated. Commonly used in metalworking, woodworking, and other industries, reduced shank drill bits minimize friction during operation, improving cutting performance and extending the bit's lifespan. Overall, they offer a practical solution for drilling larger holes with standard drill equipment.
