Drill bit ALPEN 09084024 (model 700103100) — forged tool for metal drilling

ALPEN 09084024 (model 700103100) is a forged drill bit designed for metal drilling. As a solid cutting tool from the ALPEN brand, it is intended for use with standard drilling machines and workshop equipment to produce accurate round holes in various metal materials. The forged construction aims to provide consistent cutting performance and dimensional stability during repeated drilling operations.

Advantages

The forged design delivers improved toughness and wear resistance compared with non-forged alternatives, while the solid-body geometry supports stable centering and predictable chip removal. Precision-milled flutes maintain cutting-edge alignment and contribute to consistent drilling speed. This drill bit is suitable for workshop and industrial environments where durability and repeatability of hole quality are required.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild and medium-strength steels
• General metal fabrication and maintenance tasks
• Workshop and industrial drilling operations with standard drill presses or hand drills

Key specifications

• Material type: forged steel drill bit intended for metalworking
• Design: solid cutting tool with precision-milled flutes
• Intended application: drilling metal materials with standard drilling machines
• Compatibility: suitable for use in hand drills and drill presses that accept standard straight-shank bits

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a compatible drilling machine, ensuring correct centering and firm clamping. Set the drill speed appropriate to the metal type and the chosen diameter, apply steady feed pressure, and use cutting fluid or lubricant for softer operation and extended tool life when drilling steel. Withdraw periodically to clear chips and prevent overheating; finish the hole by decelerating and easing pressure as the bit breaks through the material.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece securely, and select rotational speed and coolant to match the material being drilled. Regularly inspect the cutting lips and flutes for wear and replace the bit when edge degradation affects hole quality.
