Milwaukee 48894712 Metal Red Hex Shockwave HSS-G Tin Drill Bit 5mm
Milwaukee 48894712 SHOCKWAVE RED HEX HSS-G TiN Metal Drill Bit 5mm
Product Description
The Milwaukee 48894712 SHOCKWAVE RED HEX HSS-G TiN Metal Drill Bit 5mm is a professional impact-rated drilling accessory designed for fast, accurate and efficient metal drilling. Featuring a precision-ground high-speed steel construction, Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating and Milwaukee's advanced QUAD EDGE cutting technology, this durable 5mm drill bit delivers reliable performance with compatible impact drivers and drilling equipment.
Engineered with Milwaukee QUAD EDGE technology, the drill bit combines a 135° split point with four precision cutting edges. The split point helps achieve an accurate drilling start without wandering across the workpiece, while the four cutting edges produce smaller metal chips to minimise heat build-up. This innovative cutting geometry supports efficient drilling and helps extend drill bit service life.
The Titanium Nitride coating helps manage heat generated during drilling, improving wear resistance and supporting high-speed cutting applications. Combined with the precision-ground HSS-G steel construction, the Milwaukee 48894712 provides consistent drilling performance for professional metalworking, electrical installation, engineering and maintenance tasks.
Featuring variable flute geometry, the drill bit is designed to remove metal swarf quickly from the cutting area. Efficient chip evacuation helps the bit run cooler and reduces the risk of premature overheating. An enhanced tapered web provides a wider, reinforced core towards the shank, increasing flute strength and improving resistance to breakage during demanding drilling operations.
With a 5mm drilling diameter, 80mm overall length and 31mm working length, the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE RED HEX drill bit is suitable for a variety of precision metal drilling applications. Its impact-rated 1/4" hex shank is optimised for compatible impact drivers, providing a convenient solution for electricians, metal fabricators, engineers and maintenance professionals.
