Drill bit Art-Pol HSS cylindrical 2 mm for metal, model 53320

The Art-Pol HSS cylindrical 2 mm drill bit is designed for precise drilling in metal. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this 2 mm diameter bit provides durability and wear resistance required for cutting steel and other ferrous materials. Its cylindrical shank is compatible with standard chucks used in handheld drills and drill presses, making it suitable for both manual and machine operations where an accurate 2 mm hole is needed.

Advantages

The HSS material offers good hardness and heat resistance during continuous drilling, reducing the risk of premature dulling. The cylindrical shank ensures reliable clamping in a wide range of drill chucks while the 2 mm diameter provides fine, controlled holemaking for thin metal sheets, small components, and precision assembly tasks. The bit’s geometry is optimized for metal cutting to achieve clean holes with reduced burring when used at appropriate speeds and feeds.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and other ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and mechanical assembly
• Precision tasks requiring a 2 mm hole in sheet metal or small parts
• Use with handheld drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Diameter: 2 mm
• Intended use: metal drilling

How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed for the material being worked—typically moderate to high speeds for small-diameter HSS bits in steel—and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Insert the cylindrical shank into the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling thicker or harder metals to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the bit to cut; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the 2 mm Art-Pol HSS drill bit with proper clamping, suitable cutting fluid, and speeds matched to the metal type. Replace the bit when signs of wear or overheating appear to maintain hole quality and reduce risk of breakage. When drilling thin sheets, support the material to avoid deformation and consider a backing plate to minimize burrs.
