Drill bit Art-Pol HSS cylindrical 14 mm for metal, model 53140

Art-Pol HSS cylindrical drill bit 14 mm (model 53140) is designed for drilling holes in metal. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this 14 mm diameter bit provides wear resistance and maintains cutting performance at elevated temperatures encountered during metalworking. The cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks and is suitable for use with bench drills and portable hand drills for general metal fabrication, maintenance and repair tasks.

Advantages

The HSS material offers good hardness and heat resistance for prolonged cutting life when machining steel and non-ferrous metals. The cylindrical shank ensures reliable clamping in drill chucks and straightforward compatibility with common drilling equipment. The 14 mm diameter balances hole size for structural and fit applications while remaining suitable for typical workshop and maintenance environments.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild and alloy steel
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• General metal fabrication and assembly
• Maintenance, repair and retrofit tasks in workshops
• Use with bench drills and portable hand drills

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 14 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Suitable materials: steel and non-ferrous metals
• Typical applications: metalworking, maintenance, repair

How to use

Select a drill speed appropriate for HSS and the workpiece material, clamp the cylindrical shank securely in the drill chuck, and align the drill bit with the marked drilling point. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to reduce heat and extend tool life; apply steady feed pressure and withdraw periodically to clear chips. For through-holes, back the bit out intermittently to remove accumulated material and avoid overheating.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed to the material (lower speeds for hard steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals), use appropriate cutting fluid, and ensure the workpiece is securely clamped. Inspect the bit for wear or chipping before use and replace when cutting performance deteriorates.
