Why choose it

Rolled HSS-R steel offers a good balance of hardness and toughness for general-purpose drilling. The black oxide finish helps the bit run cooler and resist corrosion, extending its life in demanding applications.

Ideal use cases

• Drilling sheet metal and thin steel profiles
• Creating pilot holes for screws in metal
• Working with non-ferrous metals like aluminium and brass
• Drilling hard plastics and wood

Good to know

Use a centre punch to mark the drilling point and apply steady pressure with a suitable cutting fluid for best results in steel. The cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks.
