        Alpha | Reduced Shank Metric Drill Set 14.0mm to 20.0mm 6 Piece | HSS Black Oxide

        The Alpha SM6RTP-B is a six-piece metric reduced shank drill set covering 14.0mm to 20.0mm, ground full length from high-speed steel and finished in black oxide. Each bit in the SM6RTP-B carries a 12.7mm shank, so large diameters run in a standard drill chuck. The set is supplied in a TUFFBOX PRO case with a 120ml bottle of Alpha Liquid Gold lubricant.

        Standard jobber bits stop at 13.0mm because the shank diameter matches the cutting diameter. That leaves a capability gap whenever a switchboard gland entry, a cable penetration or a tray fixing requires a larger clearance hole. The SM6RTP-B removes that limitation with a 12.7mm reduced shank on every bit, so a 20.0mm penetration runs in the existing drill. The 118-degree split point initiates the cut accurately on a punched steel surface without wandering.

        Six diameters cover the large clearance holes that recur on switchboard fabrication and metal framing, consolidated into a single case rather than loose in a tool bag. The black oxide coating retains cutting fluid on the flute, assisting chip evacuation and heat dissipation through extended runs in steel. Three flats on each shank eliminate rotation in the chuck when the cut loads up near breakthrough. Colour-coded latches on the TUFFBOX PRO case identify the metric set within a stacked kit without opening it.

        Features

        • Six metric sizes — the SM6RTP-B set covers 14.0, 15.0, 16.0, 18.0, 19.0 and 20.0mm, the common large clearance diameters on switchboards and metal framing.
        • 12.7mm reduced shank — every bit drops into a standard 13mm chuck, so hole diameters above 13.0mm run without a larger drill.
        • 118-degree split point — cuts faster and reduces wandering when the bit picks up a centre punch mark.
        • Black oxide coating — holds lubricant on the flute, assisting chip flow and heat dissipation during repeat cuts in steel.
        • Three flats on the shank — prevent slippage in the chuck when the cut loads up near breakthrough.
        • Full-length ground HSS — each bit is ground from a single piece of high-speed steel across its whole length.
        • Four material types — the SM6RTP-B is rated for steel, stainless steel, wood and plastic.
        • Power and pedestal drills — suits both handheld power drills and fixed pedestal drills.
        • TUFFBOX PRO case — strong hinges let the bits stand upright while working, and a sturdy latch secures the contents on site.
        • Colour-coded case and latch — separates metric from imperial and one Alpha series from another at a glance.
        • Bonus cutting fluid — a 120ml bottle of Alpha Liquid Gold lubricant is supplied with the set.
        • Metal, timber and plastic only — the SM6RTP-B is not listed for masonry, concrete, brick or tile.

        Where to use

        • Switchboard fabrication — the SM6RTP-B drills gland and cable entry holes through mild steel switchboard doors, gland plates and escutcheons.
        • Metal frame and steel stud work — 14.0mm to 20.0mm clearance holes for conduit, saddles and fixings through light structural steel.
        • Cable tray and duct runs — opens fixing and entry holes in tray, ladder and steel duct during commercial fit-offs.
        • Workshop pedestal drilling — the reduced shank suits bench pedestal drills for repeat holes in plate and flat bar.
        • Stainless steel enclosures — the SM6RTP-B cuts stainless boxes and marine-grade enclosures with cutting fluid applied.
        • Timber and plastic pre-drilling — large clearance holes through joists, battens and PVC before cable or fastener runs.
        • Van and site kits — the compact TUFFBOX PRO case travels in a tool bag and keeps the six sizes together between jobs.

        The SM6RTP-B is a high-speed steel set and is not listed for masonry, concrete, brick or tile. It is also not a step drill or hole saw, so available diameters are limited to the six supplied sizes. Running these bits dry in stainless steel shortens edge life considerably, so apply the supplied cutting fluid on harder grades.

        (SM6RTP-B)

        The Alpha SM6RTP-B set contains six metric bits: 14.0mm, 15.0mm, 16.0mm, 18.0mm, 19.0mm and 20.0mm. All six are reduced shank drills, so each one drills above the shank diameter. The set is supplied in a TUFFBOX PRO case with a 120ml bottle of Alpha Liquid Gold cutting fluid.

        Every bit in the set has a 12.7mm reduced shank, which fits a standard 13mm keyed or keyless chuck. That is how a 20.0mm hole is drilled without stepping up to a larger drill. Three flats machined on the shank stop the bit slipping in the chuck jaws under load.

        Stainless steel is one of the listed materials, along with mild steel, wood and plastic. The bits are ground full length from high-speed steel with a black oxide finish that holds cutting fluid on the flute. Apply the supplied Alpha Liquid Gold lubricant and keep the speed down on stainless grades.

        The set suits both power drills and pedestal drills. A pedestal drill gives better control on the larger 18.0mm to 20.0mm sizes because feed pressure stays even and the workpiece can be clamped. The 12.7mm shank fits standard chucks on both tool types.

        This is a high-speed steel metal drilling set, listed for steel, stainless steel, wood and plastic. Masonry, concrete, brick and tile are not listed applications and need a carbide-tipped masonry bit such as the Alpha SDS Plus German 2 Cutter range instead.
