Drill bit Abraboro HSS cylindrical for metal 14 mm, model AB00011401

Cylindrical HSS drill bit Abraboro 14 mm designed for drilling metal. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) the bit provides wear resistance and improved heat tolerance during metalworking operations. It is intended for creating clean 14 mm holes in steels and non-ferrous metals and is compatible with standard chucks on bench drills and hand drills. The tool is suitable for workshop, maintenance and fabrication tasks where a durable, dimensionally stable metal-drilling tool is required.

Advantages

The Abraboro HSS cylindrical drill bit offers a precision-ground cutting geometry that promotes stable drilling and consistent hole diameter. Its high-speed steel construction ensures good resistance to abrasion and higher cutting temperatures compared with carbon steel bits. The straight shank fits common drill chucks without additional adapters, enabling quick tool changes. The 14 mm diameter is suitable for medium-sized holes in sheet metal, plate and structural components.

Suitable for

• Drilling 14 mm holes in mild and alloy steels
• Drilling holes in non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper
• Workshop fabrication and metal maintenance tasks
• Use in hand drills and drill presses with compatible chucks

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical/straight shank for standard chucks
• Cutting diameter: 14 mm
• Primary use: drilling metals (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Suitable mounting: hand drill and drill press

How to use

Select an appropriate drilling speed for the workpiece material and clamp the workpiece securely. Fit the cylindrical shank of the Abraboro HSS 14 mm bit into the drill chuck and tighten according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Apply steady, even feed pressure and use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steels or stainless materials to reduce heat and improve tool life. Withdraw the bit periodically for chip clearing on deeper holes and finish the hole with a deburring tool if required.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start drilling with a pilot hole when working in thin sheet or when high positional accuracy is required. Use appropriate cutting speed charts for HSS drills: lower speeds for hard or stainless steels and higher speeds for aluminium and softer non-ferrous metals. Store the bit in a dry place and inspect for wear or chipping before use to maintain hole quality and safety.
