Drill bit Artu 6 mm titanium-coated cylindrical shank for metal, model 16706

Solid metal drill bit Artu with 6 mm diameter and titanium coating, designed for drilling metal. The bit features a cylindrical (straight) shank that fits standard chucks and a twist-drill geometry optimized for cutting and chip evacuation in metalworking. Suitable for general workshop and maintenance tasks, it can be used with handheld and bench drills for reliable hole-making in a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Advantages

The titanium-coated surface increases surface hardness and reduces friction, which helps extend tool life compared with uncoated high-speed steel bits. The 6 mm diameter provides a common, easily replaceable size for many metal fabrication and repair operations. The cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard drill chucks and simplifies interchange between machines. The twist-drill geometry supports stable cutting performance and efficient chip removal during continuous drilling in metal.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, cast iron and other ferrous metals
• Drilling in aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals
• Workshop fabrication and maintenance tasks
• Handheld and benchtop drill applications

Key specifications

• Diameter: 6 mm
• Coating: titanium
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight)
• Tip/geometry: twist-drill geometry for metalworking
• Material: solid metal high-speed steel (HSS) construction

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece with appropriate clamping to prevent movement. Select a suitable cutting speed and feed for the metal type and drill diameter, and use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling harder metals to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Insert the cylindrical shank into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Apply steady pressure and keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface; withdraw periodically to clear chips if drilling deep holes. After use, clean the bit and store it in a dry place to preserve the titanium coating and cutting edge.

Usage recommendations

For best results use moderate speeds for steel and higher speeds for softer metals; always use cutting fluid for stainless steel and other hard alloys. Replace the bit when wear or chipping degrades hole quality. Ensure the drill chuck grips the cylindrical shank firmly to avoid slippage and runout.
