Drill bit Abraboro AB30013000 HSS-G DIN 338 stepped tip Ø13.0 mm

Abraboro AB30013000 HSS-G DIN 338 stepped tip Ø13.0 mm is a general-purpose high-speed steel drill bit designed for drilling metals and non-ferrous materials. Manufactured to the DIN 338 standard, the solid HSS construction provides wear resistance and thermal stability for a wide range of drilling operations. The stepped (tiered) tip geometry enhances centering and initial bite on the workpiece, helping to produce accurate Ø13.0 mm holes with consistent performance in both machine and hand-drilling applications.

Advantages

The HSS-G material offers a balance of hardness and toughness for reliable cutting performance and extended tool life under normal drilling speeds. Conformance to DIN 338 ensures a standardized flute profile and dimensions for predictable chip evacuation and stable cutting action. The stepped tip improves initial contact and reduces walking, allowing for easier positioning and cleaner hole starts without requiring a pilot hole in many applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling mild and alloyed steels
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper
• Machine drilling and hand-held drills
• General metal fabrication and maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G)
• Standard: DIN 338
• Tip geometry: Stepped (tiered) cutting tip
• Diameter: 13.0 mm
• Shank type: Straight round shank suitable for chucks

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling position. Use an appropriate chuck or collet to clamp the Ø13.0 mm drill bit firmly. Start drilling at low to moderate speed to allow the stepped tip to center, then increase speed according to material and machine capability. Apply steady feed pressure without forcing the bit; use cutting fluid when drilling steels to reduce heat and improve tool life. Retract periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results on steel, use appropriate cutting lubricant and moderate spindle speeds; reduce speed and increase feed when working with harder alloys. Inspect the drill for wear or damage before use and replace when cutting becomes inconsistent.
