Morris 1/2" x 500mm Extra Long HSS Twist Drill

The Morris 1/2" extra long twist drill is a general purpose HSS drill for hand held and machine drilling when a normal drill is too short. HSS is high speed steel, the usual steel for metal drills. This range is popular with tradesmen and engineering professionals and cuts low and high carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, aluminium, soft woods, hardwoods, plywood, chipboard, plastics, composites and plasterboard. Each product is one drill.

Choose by length: 300, 500, 700, 800, 1000, 1100 or 1200mm overall. Every length has a 114mm flute, a 12mm shank with 3 flats for a non-slip grip, and a 118° split point. A split point is self centering and needs less end thrust. The bright finish is as-ground with no surface treatment, which suits general work and non-ferrous metals. Morris also sells these long drills in metric sizes.
