Review on πŸ”§ Bosch BL2175 Fractional Reduced Shank: Ultimate Tool for Precision Drilling by Jake Davies

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not bad, but be careful with hard metals and use lube.

You can use its metal drill. It cuts well, but I used a lot of cutting fluid and worked at a low press speed. Being only a black oxide bat, it may not be as strong as a cobalt bat, but with proper care it will last a long time. I easily made multiple cuts through the thick stainless steel blocks, removed the shavings with an air compressor, and used lube. It still cuts beautifully.

Pros
  • Jobber Drill
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model
