FAQs

What materials can I drill with these bits?

These bits are suitable for steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals (like aluminum and brass), and plastics.

Are these bits suitable for wood?

While HSS bits can drill wood, they are optimized for metal and plastic. For wood, dedicated wood drill bits might offer better performance and finish.

How do I prevent the bit from breaking?

Avoid excessive force, ensure the bit is properly secured in the chuck, use appropriate drill speeds, and employ cutting fluid for harder metals to reduce heat and friction.

What does 'HSS' mean?

HSS stands for High-Speed Steel, a type of alloy steel known for its hardness, resistance to deformation at high temperatures, and durability.

Are these bits left or right-handed?

These are standard right-hand twist drill bits, designed to cut when the drill rotates clockwise.

Can I use these with a cordless drill?

Yes, these bits are compatible with most standard cordless drills, provided the chuck can securely grip the 1.0mm shank.

How many drill bits are in this pack?

This pack contains 10 Draper HSS Metric Jobber Drill Bits.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit wobbles or slips

Ensure the drill bit is securely tightened in the chuck. Check that the chuck jaws are not damaged and can grip the bit shank properly. Verify the drill bit is not bent.

Drilling is slow or difficult

Check if the drill speed is appropriate for the material. For metals, consider using a cutting fluid. Ensure the drill bit is sharp and not dull. Apply steady, consistent pressure.

Overheating during use

Reduce drilling speed and apply cutting fluid or lubricant. Allow the bit to cool down between uses. Ensure you are not applying excessive force.

Poor hole quality (rough edges)

Ensure the drill bit is sharp. Use a slower drill speed for finishing passes. Make sure the workpiece is securely clamped.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable HSS construction ensures longevity.
  • Compliant with international quality standards (DIN338, ISO235/1).
  • Suitable for a wide range of common workshop materials.
  • Pack of 10 offers good value and availability.
  • Precision tip for accurate drilling.

Cons

  • Specific metric size may not fit all imperial chucks without adapter.
  • Limited to general-purpose drilling; not designed for heavy-duty industrial use.
  • May require lubrication for prolonged use in harder metals.
  • Small 1.0mm diameter is not suitable for large holes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Insert the Draper HSS drill bit into the chuck of your drill. Ensure the chuck is tightened securely around the shank of the bit to prevent slippage. For optimal results, align the drill perpendicular to the surface being drilled.

Compatibility: This 1.0mm bit is compatible with standard drill chucks that can accommodate its shank size. It is designed for use with rotary drills and drill presses. Ensure your drill's chuck can grip a 1.0mm shank securely.

Care: To maintain performance and longevity, clean the drill bit after each use, removing any metal shavings or debris. Store the bits in a dry place to prevent rust. For drilling in tougher materials like steel, consider using a lubricant or cutting fluid to reduce heat and friction, which can prolong the bit's sharpness and lifespan.
