Product Information

Full details

The UK Drills 6.0mm HSS Titanium Coated Twisted Drill Bit is designed for professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, durable tool for frequent drilling tasks. Offering exceptional hardness and wear resistance, these bits excel in steel, wood, and plastic applications, providing precise results thanks to their advanced geometry. While they are highly durable, users should note that the titanium coating is intended for increased longevity and heat reduction rather than allowing for high-speed drilling through extremely hardened alloys without proper cooling.

FAQs

Can I use these for masonry or brick?

No, these bits are designed specifically for steel, wood, and plastic. Masonry requires carbide-tipped bits.

What is the primary benefit of the 135-degree split point?

It allows the drill bit to bite into the material immediately without wandering, leading to much higher precision.

Are these bits compatible with hand drills?

Yes, they are compatible with both corded and cordless hand drills.

How many bits are in the package?

This set contains 10 individual 6.0mm drill bits.

Do I need to sharpen these bits?

The titanium coating provides high wear resistance, but they can be sharpened eventually with professional grinding equipment. However, performance may decline once the coating is ground away.

Are these DIN 338 compliant?

Yes, they are fully manufactured to DIN 338 and BS 328 standards.

Troubleshooting

Bit is 'walking' or slipping when starting a hole

Ensure you are using a firm, perpendicular pressure. If the surface is extremely smooth, use a center punch to create a small dimple first.

Bit is getting hot and smoking

Your RPM is likely too high or you are not using enough cutting lubricant. Reduce speed and apply oil.

Bit is snapping inside the hole

Avoid bending the drill while it is engaged in the material. Ensure the drill is held perfectly straight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • 135-degree split point prevents walking on hard surfaces
  • High-speed steel provides high durability and heat resistance
  • Titanium coating reduces friction for smoother drilling
  • Fully ground design ensures professional precision

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely hardened industrial metals
  • Requires proper cutting oil to maintain the coating's longevity
  • Specific 6.0mm size limits use to projects requiring that exact hole diameter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These bits are compatible with all standard keyed and keyless chuck drills that accept 6.0mm shanks. To install, simply insert the bit into the chuck and tighten securely.

Maintenance Tips:

  • Always use a cutting lubricant when drilling into steel to dissipate heat.
  • Store bits in a dry place to prevent moisture-induced surface oxidation.
  • Inspect the tip after heavy use; if it appears dull, avoid forcing it through the material to prevent snapping.
  • Periodically wipe the bits clean of debris and metal shavings to maintain sharpness.
