Serpentine drill

In this type of drill, a helix with a relatively low pitch (similar to a snake) winds around the core bar and thus enables optimal chip transport out of the drill hole, especially when drilling deep holes. The snake drills from the traditional German brand Schlagring have a small thread as a center point with which the drill pulls itself into the wood and are available in effective lengths of 160 and 250 mm with diameters of 22 or 24 mm.

The 30 mm long hexagonal shank offers maximum stability, even at high torques. Please select the desired length (effective length) and diameter. These special drills for wood are suitable for 22 mm and 24 mm grinders made by Strässler, which are also offered in the Drechslershop.
