Drill bit Abraboro HSS conical for metal 13 mm AB44513000

Conical HSS drill bit Abraboro for metal, 13 mm diameter. This solid high-speed steel (HSS) bit is engineered for drilling steel and a variety of other metals. Its conical geometry provides progressive cutting action that helps start holes accurately and enlarge existing holes with controlled material removal. Designed for use in handheld drills and drill presses, the bit is suitable for fabrication, maintenance and workshop repair tasks where a robust metal-drilling tool is required.

Advantages

The Abraboro HSS conical drill bit combines hardness and wear resistance typical of high-speed steel with a conical point that improves centring and reduces walking on flat metal surfaces. Its 13 mm diameter offers a balance between drilling speed and structural stability, suitable for through-holes and enlarging pilot holes. The solid construction ensures consistent performance under the moderate feed rates and speeds commonly used in metalworking.

Suitable for

• Drilling steel plates and profiles
• Creating or enlarging holes in iron and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and machinery repair
• Handheld drilling and drill press operations

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Tip style: Conical point
• Nominal diameter: 13 mm
• Intended materials: Steel and various metals
• Suitable tools: Handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or with clamps to prevent movement. Choose an appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled—lower speeds for hard steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Apply cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and extend tool life, and start drilling with light pressure until the conical tip centres, then increase feed steadily. Retract periodically for chip clearance when drilling deeper holes.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting oil when drilling stainless or hardened steels, and reduce speed to avoid overheating. Inspect the bit for wear or chipping before use and replace when cutting performance declines to maintain hole quality and operator safety.
