Drill bit Art-Pol HSS cylindrical 2.5 mm, model 53325

Art-Pol HSS cylindrical drill bit 2.5 mm (model 53325) is a precision metalworking and general-purpose drilling tool designed for creating small-diameter holes in metal, wood and plastics. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this 2.5 mm drill bit provides good wear resistance and consistent cutting performance for light to medium drilling tasks. The cylindrical shank is compatible with most handheld drills and drill presses, enabling stable mounting and accurate hole placement for precision work.

Advantages

The HSS material ensures toughness and heat resistance during continuous drilling, reducing the risk of premature dulling. The 2.5 mm diameter is suitable for fine and detailed work, offering precise hole sizes and clean edges. The cylindrical shank guarantees reliable grip in standard chucks without additional adapters. This drill bit balances cutting performance and durability for routine workshop and on-site applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling small holes in metal components and sheet metal
• Precision holes in wooden parts and dowels
• Creating holes in plastic parts and housings
• Use in handheld electric drills and bench drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 2.5 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Typical applications: Metal, wood, plastics
• Compatibility: Standard drill chucks (handheld and press)

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a handheld drill or drill press, ensuring the bit is centered and tightened. Select an appropriate speed for the material: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Use cutting lubricant or coolant when drilling metal to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, even pressure and avoid excessive feed rates; withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean the bit and store it in a protective holder to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use a cutting fluid and operate at conservative speeds to minimize wear. When drilling plastics, use moderate speed and minimal pressure to prevent melting. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow safety practices for power tool operation.
