BDS HSS VarioPLUS 12 mm kernboor met Weldon-schacht, 30 mm snijdiepte KBK-VP012

Precision-ground HSS-VarioPLUS core drill bit with 12 mm cutting diameter and 30 mm cutting depth, engineered for clean, efficient annular drilling in steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals. The Weldon shank (19 mm / 3/4 inch) ensures secure mounting in magnetic drilling machines and core drilling machines, while the two cutting edges deliver fast, burr-free holes with minimal effort.

Overview

The BDS KBK-VP012 is part of the HSS-VarioPLUS series, designed for professional metalworking applications where accuracy and tool life are critical. Its hollow core design removes only the periphery of the hole, reducing cutting forces and power consumption compared to solid twist drills. The bit is manufactured from high-speed steel with VarioPLUS treatment, offering enhanced hardness and heat resistance for extended service life. Suitable for both internal and external cooling systems, it maintains optimal cutting temperatures even in continuous use.
