Product Description
HPC CE-500M2 — Medeco KeyMark Carbide Drill Tip
This is the carbide-tipped drill bit you need when you're working on Medeco KeyMark cylinders. If you've ever tried to drill a Medeco with a standard bit, you know it doesn't end well — the hardened pins and sidebar chew through regular steel in seconds. The CE-500M2 is purpose-built for that job.
The carbide tip cuts cleanly at the shear line without wandering. It's sized at 1/2 inch to match the standard Medeco KeyMark pin stack. One bit, one application — this isn't a general-purpose drill bit, and it shouldn't be. When you need to bypass a KeyMark cylinder, this is the tool that actually works.
Comes as a single bit. Keep a spare on your van — when you need it, you need it now, not next Tuesday.
Why carbide and not high-speed steel? Medeco KeyMark runs hardened anti-drill pins and a sidebar that will dull or grab a standard HSS bit almost immediately. Carbide holds its edge against that hardened material so you can keep steady pressure on the shear line instead of fighting the bit. Run it at a moderate RPM with a few drops of cutting oil and let the tip do the work — don't lean on it.
This is a destructive-entry tool, intended for authorized locksmiths opening cylinders they are legally entitled to open. Once it's drilled, a KeyMark cylinder is compromised and should be replaced, not re-pinned — plan to swap the cylinder as part of the same call.
