Reduced Shank for Greater Flexibility
Drill Larger Holes with Standard Chucks
A key advantage of the Type 128 is its reduced shank design, allowing operators to drill larger-diameter holes using standard 3/8" or 1/2" drill chucks. This eliminates the need for specialized equipment and makes the bit highly valuable in field work, maintenance applications, and general-purpose drilling tasks where adaptability is essential.
118° Standard Point & Bright Finish
Smooth Starts, Clean Cuts, and Improved Tool Life
The 118° standard point offers easy starting, reduced walking, and smooth, controlled drilling. Its bright finish enhances chip evacuation, reduces friction, and improves heat dissipation—resulting in cleaner holes and extended tool life. The polished surface also helps prevent material buildup during repetitive drilling.
