This Bosch HSS Twist Drill Bit is designed for construction workers and installers needing reliable metal drilling. Its key benefit is the PointTeQ tip for efficient metal penetration, though its cylindrical shank limits it to standard three-jaw chucks. This bit excels in drilling various metals, including steel, non-ferrous metals, cast iron, as well as plastics and wood.

This HSS twist drill bit is primarily designed for drilling in metals, including alloyed and unalloyed steel, non-ferrous metals, and cast iron. It can also be effectively used on plastics and wood.
No, this drill bit is designed for standard rotary drilling. It is not intended for use with the hammer function of a hammer drill, which can damage the bit and the material.
CYL stands for cylindrical, and 'Reduced Shank' means the shank diameter is larger than the fluted portion, up to a maximum diameter that fits into a standard three-jaw chuck. This design allows for drilling larger diameter holes than the drill's chuck capacity might normally allow.
To maximize the bit's lifespan, use appropriate cutting speeds, apply steady pressure, use a cutting fluid or coolant when drilling metal, and keep the bit clean and sharp. Replace the bit once the cutting edges show significant wear.
The PointTeQ tip is engineered for faster drilling and a better initial bite on the material, preventing the bit from 'walking' or skidding when you start the hole. This leads to more precise and efficient drilling.
No, this bit has a cylindrical shank and is designed for use with standard three-jaw drill chucks. It is not compatible with SDS chuck systems.
Ensure the PointTeQ tip is clean and sharp. Use a center punch to create a small indentation at the drilling start point. Apply steady pressure and consider a slower drill speed.
Reduce drill speed. Apply cutting fluid or coolant. Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure and allow the bit to clear chips from the hole.
Ensure the drill chuck jaws are clean and free of debris. Insert the bit shank fully into the chuck and tighten securely. Check if the drill chuck is worn or damaged.
Check if the drill bit is dull. Ensure you are using the correct drill speed for the material. Consider using a pilot hole if drilling a large diameter.
