BDS
KBK short
German-made BDS HSS short core cutters. A 30 mm cutting depth, a 19 mm Weldon shank and one-millimetre steps from Ø12 to Ø60 mm — 51 sizes including the Ø17.5 and Ø19.5 half sizes — the standard series for keeping cost per hole low in structural steel.

Advantages
Cost Per Hole
HSS cutters deliver high hole counts in structural steel at a lower cutter price than carbide, keeping the consumables budget predictable.
Every Millimetre Covered
Ø12 to Ø60 mm exists as a separate size at every millimetre, so the hole diameter is never rounded up.
Mounts Without Adapters
The 19 mm Weldon shank fits straight onto magnetic drills built to that standard — no sleeve in between.
Short Means Stiff
The 30 mm short body is stiffer than the long version of the same diameter, reducing deviation and vibration.

Features
- HSS cutting edges — for structural steel and general fabrication
- 30 mm cutting depth (short type)
- 19 mm Weldon shank (3/4") — mounts without an adapter
- 49 sizes in one-millimetre steps from Ø12 to Ø60 mm
- One larger Ø175 mm size in the same series
- ZAK 075 ejector pin for coolant feed and slug removal
- Made in Germany by BDS
Choosing between HSS and carbide comes down to the material against the cost per hole. The BDS KBK series is built with HSS cutting edges and covers high hole counts in general fabrication and structural steel at a low cutter price; the extra outlay for a carbide cutter only pays back once the material hardens or you move into stainless. This is the short version: 30 mm cutting depth, so wall thicknesses up to 30 mm go in a single pass. The connection is a 19 mm Weldon (3/4") shank that mounts straight onto magnetic drills built to that standard. Metric sizes run from Ø12 to Ø60 mm in one-millimetre steps — 49 separate diameters, which means no rounding the hole up to the next available cutter. One larger size, Ø175 mm, sits alongside them in the series. The ZAK 075 ejector pin carries coolant into the cutting zone and pushes the slug clear at the end of the cut; running without it compromises both cooling and slug removal. The short body is stiffer than the long version of the same diameter, so deviation and vibration stay low on work under 30 mm.
