Art-Pol HSS Cylindrical Drill Bit 14.50 mm

The Art-Pol HSS cylindrical drill bit with a 14.50 mm diameter is a professional-grade cutting tool engineered for high-performance drilling in various metal materials. Constructed from high-speed steel, this drill bit offers excellent heat resistance and structural integrity, ensuring consistent results during demanding metalworking operations. Its standard cylindrical shank design allows for secure and stable mounting in most conventional drill chucks, making it a versatile addition to any workshop or industrial tool collection.

Advantages

This drill bit stands out due to its robust high-speed steel composition, which maintains sharpness and durability even under significant mechanical stress. The precision-ground geometry facilitates efficient chip removal and reduces friction, leading to cleaner holes and extended tool life. Its universal compatibility with standard chucks simplifies tool changes, allowing for seamless integration into existing workflows without the need for specialized adapters.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in structural steel and iron
• Workshop metal fabrication tasks
• Maintenance and repair operations
• General engineering projects requiring precise hole diameters

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for drilling in masonry, concrete, or extremely hard materials like hardened tool steel or ceramics, as these may cause premature wear or damage to the cutting edges. It is also not suitable for use in impact drills where the hammering action could compromise the structural integrity of the bit.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 14.50 mm
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Application: Metal drilling

How to use

To achieve the best results, secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp to prevent movement during the drilling process. Insert the drill bit into the chuck and tighten it securely. It is recommended to use a center punch to mark the drilling location to prevent the bit from wandering. Apply steady, moderate pressure and use a suitable cutting oil to lubricate the contact point, which helps manage heat and improves the surface finish of the hole.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your drill chuck capacity supports a 14.50 mm shank diameter.
• Verify that the material you intend to drill is compatible with high-speed steel tools.
• Consider the required drilling depth to ensure the bit length is sufficient for your application.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection and safety gear when operating drilling equipment. Regularly inspect the drill bit for signs of wear or dullness and sharpen or replace it as necessary to maintain optimal cutting performance.
