FAQs
What materials can this drill bit be used on?
This drill bit is suitable for drilling steel, aluminum, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and wood.
What is the point angle of the drill bit?
The drill bit features a 118° point angle for precise cutting.
What does 'HSS-R' mean?
HSS-R stands for High-Speed Steel, Roll-forged. It indicates the material and manufacturing process of the drill bit.
How should I care for the drill bits to extend their life?
Clean the drill bits after each use, store them in a dry place, and apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Use a cutting fluid when drilling metal to reduce heat and friction.
What standards do these drill bits meet?
These drill bits are manufactured to DIN338 standards.
Why is it recommended to use a cooling agent when drilling metal?
A cooling agent reduces friction and heat, which helps to preserve the bit's sharpness and extend its lifespan.
Can I use these drill bits for heavy-duty industrial applications?
While these bits are suitable for various materials and applications, their suitability for heavy-duty industrial applications depends on the specific requirements of the job. Consider the material thickness and drilling frequency.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is dull or not cutting effectively.
Check the sharpness of the bit and replace it if needed. Ensure the correct speed and pressure are being applied.
Drill bit is breaking or bending.
Reduce the feed rate and ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the work surface. Use a cooling agent when drilling metal.
Hole is not straight or walking.
Start with a pilot hole or use a center punch to create a starting point. Apply even pressure and maintain a straight drilling angle. Check the 118° point angle.
