Important Considerations for a 16 mm Bit

Reduced Shank : Since 16 mm is a large diameter, standard electric drills often have a maximum chuck size of 13 mm (1/2 inch). A 16 mm Reduced Shank drill bit is specifically designed to fit into a 13 mm chuck while still drilling a 16 mm hole.

Drilling Technique : For a large hole in metal, especially with a 16 mm bit, follow these tips to prevent damage and ensure a clean hole:

Pilot Hole : Always start with a smaller drill bit (e.g., 4mm or 6mm) to create a pilot hole first. This helps center the 16 mm bit and reduces the load on the larger bit.

Low Speed : Use a slow drill speed (RPM) to prevent overheating.

Lubrication/Coolant : Use a cutting fluid, oil, or coolant liberally when drilling steel to reduce friction and prolong the life of the bit.

Steady Pressure : Apply firm, steady pressure.

Hole Saws : If you need a very large hole (e.g., above 20 mm) in thin sheet metal, a hole saw or a step drill bit may be a better alternative than a large twist drill bit.
