We've extended our line of SHOCKWAVE™ Titanium RED HELIX™ Impact Duty™ bits and Cobalt RED HELIX™ drill bits to include a range of solutions in metric. Opposed to other twist drill bits that break or burn out at the tip, Milwaukee’s design features an aggressive 35° helix angle that varies along the flute, ending at 15°. Unlike a standard flute design, this limits heat build-up by providing rapid chip removal and allows the user to get more life out of their bit.
