Drill bit Abraboro HSS cylindrical for metal 13.5 mm AB00011354

Abraboro HSS cylindrical drill bit for metal, diameter 13.5 mm, is designed for drilling precise holes in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this solid cutting tool provides a balance of hardness and toughness appropriate for routine metalworking operations. The cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks and hand-held or bench drills, making the bit suitable for maintenance, fabrication, and general workshop use.

Advantages

The HSS material offers good wear resistance and heat tolerance for sustained cutting at moderate speeds. The cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard drill chucks and simplifies bit changes. The 13.5 mm diameter provides a larger hole size for fast removal of material and reduced reaming needs. The bit’s geometry is optimized for metal cutting to promote reliable chip evacuation and consistent hole quality under normal operating conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other metals
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Metal fabrication and assembly work
• Bench drilling and hand-held drilling with appropriate speed and clamping

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: Cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks
• Diameter: 13.5 mm cutting diameter
• Intended use: Cutting/drilling metal
• Typical applications: Workshop, maintenance, fabrication

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in a suitable drill chuck that accepts cylindrical shanks. Select drilling speed appropriate for the metal being worked—lower speeds for hard steels, higher speeds for aluminium—while applying steady pressure. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling harder or thicker metals to reduce heat and prolong tool life. After drilling, clear chips from the hole and inspect for required tolerances and finish.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the workpiece material and use appropriate cutting lubricant. Ensure the workpiece is clamped securely and the drill runs true to avoid runout and premature wear. Replace the bit when signs of excessive wear or chipping appear to maintain hole quality and operator safety.
