Milwaukee 48894710 SHOCKWAVE RED HEX HSS-G TiN Metal Drill Bit 4.5mm
Product Description
The Milwaukee 48894710 SHOCKWAVE RED HEX HSS-G TiN Metal Drill Bit 4.5mm is a professional impact-rated drilling accessory designed for fast, precise and reliable metal drilling. Featuring a 1/4" hex shank, Titanium Nitride (TiN) coating and Milwaukee's innovative QUAD EDGE cutting tip, this high-performance drill bit is optimised for use with compatible impact drivers and high-speed drilling equipment.
Engineered with Milwaukee QUAD EDGE technology, the drill bit combines a 135° split point with four precision cutting edges. The split point provides an accurate drilling start without wandering across the workpiece, while the four cutting edges produce smaller metal chips to help minimise heat build-up and improve cutting efficiency. This advanced tip design supports faster drilling and extended drill bit life during demanding applications.
The Titanium Nitride coating helps dissipate heat generated during drilling, improving wear resistance and supporting reliable performance at higher drilling speeds. Combined with the precision-ground HSS-G construction, the Milwaukee 48894710 offers a durable solution for professional metalworking, fabrication and installation tasks.
Featuring variable flute geometry, the drill bit is designed to remove metal swarf efficiently from the cutting area. This improves material evacuation and helps maintain lower operating temperatures, reducing the risk of premature overheating. An enhanced tapered web provides additional core strength towards the shank, improving resistance to breakage and supporting durability under demanding working conditions.
With a 4.5mm drilling diameter, 76mm overall length and 29mm working length, the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE RED HEX drill bit is suitable for precise drilling applications where performance, accuracy and convenience are essential. Its impact-rated 1/4" hex shank provides quick compatibility with suitable impact drivers, making it a practical accessory for electricians, engineers, metal fabricators and maintenance professionals.
