En M2 HSS Morse Taper Shank Drill Bits are built for stable, high-torque holemaking on radial drilling machines, pillar drills, lathes, and other machine tools equipped with a compatible Morse-taper socket or sleeve. The self-holding taper fits directly into a matching spindle or adapter, avoiding the capacity and slippage limitations of a conventional drill chuck when larger drill diameters are required.

Fabricado a partir de M2 high-speed steel, the drills balance cutting-edge wear resistance with the toughness needed for general industrial drilling. They are suited primarily to carbon steel, structural steel, low-alloy steel, cast iron, and selected non-ferrous metals under appropriate cutting conditions. The cutting edges can be resharpened, making this series a practical choice for maintenance, fabrication, machinery production, and larger-diameter metal drilling.

M2 HSS Morse taper shank twist drill machining a large metal component

Industrial drilling setup using a taper-shank twist drill. Machine rigidity, correct taper engagement, coolant supply, chip evacuation, and stable workholding are essential for large-diameter drilling.

Why Use a Morse Taper Shank?

Direct Machine ConnectionThe shank seats directly in a matching Morse-taper spindle, tailstock, socket, or reducing sleeve without a conventional drill chuck.
Self-Holding Taper ContactFull, clean taper contact supports concentric location and stable torque transfer during drilling.
Suitable for Larger Drill SizesThe taper-shank format is commonly selected where drill diameter and torque demand exceed the practical capacity of a standard chuck.
Match the MT SizeThe drill’s Morse-taper number must match the machine socket or an approved reducing sleeve. Never force an incorrect taper into the spindle.

Morse Taper vs. Straight Shank

Selection Point Morse Taper Shank Vástago recto
Machine interface Directly seats in a matching taper socket or sleeve Held by a drill chuck, collet, or other holder
Typical use Higher-torque and larger-diameter industrial drilling Flexible tool changes and smaller general drilling
Required check Correct MT number, clean taper, and full seating Holder capacity, grip length, and runout
Removal Use the machine’s approved drift or ejection mechanism Release the chuck or holder according to its instructions

Why M2 High-Speed Steel?

Toughness Under LoadM2 HSS tolerates the interrupted forces and moderate setup variation encountered in general industrial drilling better than a more brittle cutting material.
Practical Wear ResistanceThe material retains a useful cutting edge at the lower cutting speeds normally used for HSS metal drilling.
Resharpening ValueA worn point can be reground when enough flute length remains, helping reduce replacement cost in maintenance and production environments.
General Metal CoverageSuitable for common steels, cast iron, and selected copper alloys when point geometry, lubrication, and cutting data are correctly matched.

Point Geometry & Cutting Thrust

118 degree and 135 degree point options for M2 HSS Morse taper drill
Split point geometry for reduced starting thrust and improved drill centering
118° General-Purpose PointA conventional option for many general steels and common workshop drilling applications.
135° Point OptionA flatter point may be considered for tougher materials or more rigid production conditions. Confirm the exact point form before ordering.
Split-Point OptionA thinned or split chisel edge can reduce starting thrust and drill walking on a flat, stable surface.

Type N Flute Geometry

Type N approximately 30 degree helix on M2 HSS Morse taper twist drill

The illustrated Type N regular spiral uses an approximately 30° helix for general metal drilling. The two flutes balance edge support with chip space, but coolant flow and retract strategy must still be matched to the material, diameter, and hole depth.

Manufacturing & Finish Options

HSS Morse taper drill manufacturing and finish options including black, bright, milled, and cobalt variants
Selection note: The image shows several HSS manufacturing, finish, and cobalt-grade variants across the wider product family. This product title specifies M2 HSS; black oxide, bright, milled, coated, or other finishes must be confirmed separately. A cobalt HSS drill is a different material option and should not be described as M2.

Long & Extra-Long Series

GB T 1438.3 long series and DIN 1870 extra-long Morse taper shank drill options
GB/T 1438.3 Long SeriesA long-series Morse-taper option is available for applications requiring added reach. Confirm diameter, MT size, flute length, and overall length against the current specification.
DIN 1870 Extra-Long SeriesAn extra-long series can provide greater reach, but requires increased attention to alignment, deflection, chip evacuation, and reduced cutting load.

Recommended Application Range

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS

General Steel & Structural MetalCarbon steel, structural steel, low-alloy steel, machinery components, plates, blocks, and fabricated metal parts.

ALSO SUITABLE WHEN MATCHED

Cast Iron & Copper AlloysConfirm the exact grade, point geometry, flute finish, lubrication method, and chip control before production.

CONSIDER ANOTHER GRADE

Stainless & Heat-Resistant AlloysM35 or M42 cobalt HSS may be more appropriate where higher hot hardness and wear resistance are needed.

Position Within the HSS Drill Family

Comparison of rolled, ground, coated, taper-shank, center, and spot HSS drill types

The taper-shank drill is one member of the wider HSS holemaking family. Select by machine connection and hole requirement first, then confirm HSS grade, manufacturing method, surface finish, point form, and length series.

Setup & Machining Recommendations

Clean Both Taper SurfacesRemove chips, oil, burrs, and corrosion from the drill shank and machine socket before installation.
Seat the Taper FullyCheck that the drill engages the full taper and does not bottom incorrectly on the tang or sleeve.
Secure the WorkpieceClamp the part rigidly and support large or irregular components. Never rely on hand restraint for heavy drilling.
Use Suitable Cutting FluidApply lubrication or coolant appropriate to the material and operation, while keeping chips moving out of the flutes.
Control Chip EvacuationFor deep or blind holes, use an appropriate retract cycle before chips pack in the flutes or are recut.
Choose HSS Cutting DataSet speed and feed for M2 HSS and adjust for diameter, material, point form, rigidity, depth, and coolant.

Technical Note: The supplied table does not list Ø37.5 mm or Ø44 mm. The Ø51 mm entry shows L1 = 225 mm and L = 412 mm, a notable increase from the Ø50.5 mm entry; confirm this dimension before ordering. Flute length is a tool dimension and does not by itself establish the maximum usable drilling depth.

Specification confirmation: M2 HSS is the stated tool material. Confirm the manufacturing standard, diameter tolerance, point form, finish and exact MT socket compatibility for the ordered size. The illustrated 118°, 135° and split-point designs are options; the size table does not assign a specific point form to each diameter.

HSS Drill Speeds & Feed Settings

Select starting cutting data for the confirmed M2 HSS drill geometry, workpiece grade and hardness, drill diameter, hole depth and coolant supply. The dimension table does not specify cutting speeds or feed rates.

Setting Speed & Feed

Spindle speed: n = (1000 × Vc) / (π × D), where n is RPM, Vc is cutting speed in m/min and D is drill diameter in mm.

Feed rate: F = n × f, where F is feed in mm/min and f is feed per revolution in mm/rev.

Calculation example: At 300 RPM and 0.15 mm/rev, the programmed feed is 45 mm/min. This demonstrates the calculation only and is not a cutting recommendation for every diameter or material.

Application Note: Check that the Morse taper and machine socket are clean and fully engaged. Secure the workpiece, confirm machine rigidity, provide suitable coolant and prevent chips from packing in the flutes. For larger diameters, assess whether a pilot hole is appropriate for the drill geometry and setup. Validate cutting parameters with a trial hole.

For additional reference, see our HSS cutting tools speeds & feeds guide. Confirm tool-specific values for the selected drill and workpiece.

Product FAQs

What sizes are listed for these M2 HSS Morse taper drills?

The specification table lists 134 diameters from Ø5 to Ø76 mm. Flute lengths (L1) range from 52 to 260 mm, overall lengths (L) from 133 to 447 mm, and Morse taper sizes from MT1 to MT5. Check the exact combination for your selected diameter in the size chart.

How do I choose the correct Morse taper size?

Select the required drill diameter first, then check its assigned MT number in the specification table. The taper must fit the machine spindle, tailstock or a suitable reducing sleeve. Confirm that both taper surfaces are clean and that the drill seats correctly before machining.

Which materials can these M2 HSS drills machine?

M2 HSS is a general-purpose choice for carbon steel, structural steel, low-alloy steel, cast iron and selected non-ferrous metals when the drill geometry and cutting conditions are matched to the workpiece. For stainless steel or heat-resistant alloys, provide the material grade and hardness so the appropriate HSS grade and point geometry can be reviewed.

Are 118°, 135° and split-point drills all standard specifications?

The product images illustrate these point-geometry options, but the dimension table does not assign a point form to each diameter. Confirm the available point angle and whether a split point is required for the exact size before ordering.

Does flute length equal the maximum drilling depth?

No. L1 is the physical flute length. Usable drilling depth also depends on the drill point, chip clearance, coolant delivery, workholding and whether the hole is blind or through. Provide the required hole depth when selecting the drill.

How should I set speed and feed for larger diameters?

Select cutting speed and feed per revolution for the confirmed M2 HSS drill geometry, workpiece material, diameter and coolant setup. Larger diameters generally require a lower spindle speed at the same cutting speed. Check machine rigidity and chip evacuation; assess whether a pilot hole is appropriate, then validate the setup with a trial hole.

Ordering & OEM FAQs

What information should I send for a quotation?

Send the required diameter and quantity per size, machine socket or MT number, workpiece material, hole depth and hole type. Include any requirements for point angle, split point, surface finish, diameter tolerance, marking or packaging.

Can I request non-standard dimensions or OEM branding?

Custom diameter, flute length, overall length, point geometry, surface finish and OEM marking requests can be reviewed. Send a drawing or specification sheet; feasibility, tolerance, minimum quantity and lead time will be confirmed for the requested configuration.

Can I order several diameters together?

Yes. Send a diameter-by-diameter quantity list for a mixed-size quotation. Stock availability, MOQ and dispatch timing will be confirmed for each selected size. If you require Ø37.5 mm or Ø44 mm, request confirmation because those diameters are not listed in the supplied table.
