Drill bit ALPEN 09084015 (MPN 600112100) – single forged cutting bit

ALPEN drill bit 09084015 (single forged cutting bit) is a precision-made drill component intended for general-purpose drilling and metalworking where a forged bit is required. Manufactured by ALPEN, this single forged cutting bit provides a robust cutting edge and stable performance for workshop repair, maintenance tasks and production settings that demand durable drill tooling.

Advantages

The single forged construction increases toughness and resistance to chipping compared with non-forged bits, while the precision-sharpened cutting edge ensures consistent drill entry and clean hole formation. A centering tip improves accuracy when starting holes, reducing walking and the need for pilot holes. Heat resistance up to 250° C supports demanding applications and intermittent high-temperature conditions encountered in metal and composite drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling in soft and hard metals
• Workshop repair and maintenance tasks
• Production environments requiring durable tooling
• Drilling holes for dowels and joinery in chipboard and hard fibre boards

Key specifications

• Type: single forged cutting bit
• Material suitability: soft and hard metals, chipboard and hard fibre boards
• Tip: centering tip for precise starts
• Sharpening: precision-sharpened cutting edge
• Thermal resistance: heat resistant up to 250° C
• Set contents (case): five wood bits — diameters 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm, 6.0 mm, 8.0 mm and 10.0 mm

How to use

Secure the appropriate drill bit in the drill chuck and ensure it is tightened correctly. Select a drill speed suitable for the material: lower speeds for hard metals and higher speeds for softer materials and wood-based boards. Use steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes. For dowel holes in chipboard or hard fibre boards, align the centering tip with the mark and drill perpendicular to the surface for accurate positioning.

Usage recommendations

For prolonged bit life and consistent performance, use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling metals, avoid excessive feed pressure, and allow the bit to cool between extended drilling runs. Store bits in their case to protect the cutting edges and keep them dry to prevent corrosion.
