Ruko solid-carbide core drill Ø18 mm — 50 mm cutting depth, Quick IN shank

The Ruko solid-carbide core drill Ø18 mm is a robust core drill designed for precise core holes in high-strength steels and other demanding materials, suited to industrial workshops and fabrication environments.

• Solid carbide construction
• 50 mm cutting depth
• Quick IN shank 18 mm
• Five cutting edges for fast removal

High-performance cutting in tough materials

The solid-carbide construction delivers exceptional rigidity and wear resistance, enabling reliable holemaking in high-strength substrates. With a 50 mm cutting depth and five cutting edges, the tool maintains steady feed rates while reducing burr formation. This results in fewer rework cycles and improved throughput when working with materials such as quenched steels and alloyed grades. The design translates into measurable productivity: longer tool life and consistent hole geometry, which supports streamlined production processes.

Precision and stability for repeatable holes

A well-balanced geometry and carbide cutting faces ensure that each bore is concentric and true, minimising the need for secondary machining. The Quick IN shank provides secure retention in compatible chucks and quick tool changes, reducing set-up time between operations. These attributes combine to reduce cycle variability on production runs, helping maintain process tolerances and supporting quality control requirements in serial manufacturing.

Built for demanding industrial applications

Engineered for heavy-duty use, this core drill is especially suited to applications involving rail components, abrasion-resistant steels such as Hardox and Weldox, and high-chrome or stainless alloys. The combination of a robust carbide body and multi-edge cutting geometry ensures efficient chip evacuation and heat resistance during sustained operation, which is particularly beneficial in fabrication shops and maintenance workshops processing mixed batches of ferrous materials.

Workshop efficiency and handling

The 18 mm Quick IN shank simplifies integration into modular tooling systems and minimises downtime during tool exchanges. Handling benefits include fast insertion and firm clamping, improving ergonomics for operators and reducing indirect labour costs associated with tool changes. Overall, the cutter’s construction supports a reliable production flow and helps to centralise tooling needs through durable, low-maintenance equipment.
