Drill bit Artu 9 mm titanium-coated cylindrical for metal, model 16709

Drill bit Artu 9 mm titanium-coated cylindrical for metal, model 16709 is a straight-shank metalworking drill bit with a 9 mm cutting diameter and a titanium surface treatment to increase hardness and reduce wear. It is designed for drilling steel and a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, producing consistent 9 mm holes when used with standard drill chucks in hand drills, drill presses, or portable drilling machines. The construction balances cutting performance and durability for workshop, maintenance and construction environments.

Advantages

The titanium coating improves surface hardness and offers increased resistance to abrasion compared with uncoated bits, extending tool life under typical metal drilling conditions. The cylindrical (straight) shank ensures secure clamping in standard chucks, while the 9 mm diameter provides a precise, repeatable hole size for fittings and fasteners. The bit’s geometry is optimized for general metal applications, allowing effective chip evacuation and stable cutting when used with appropriate speeds and cooling.

Suitable for

• Drilling 9 mm holes in steel and stainless steel
• Working with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
• Workshop maintenance and repair tasks
• Construction and installation jobs requiring precise metal holes
• Use with handheld drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 9 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank for standard chucks
• Coating: titanium surface treatment for increased hardness
• Material application: suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Typical use: manual and stationary drilling operations

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck so the cylindrical shank is fully seated and tightened to prevent slippage. Select an appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled — lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals — and use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling steel to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Apply steady, moderate pressure; withdraw periodically to clear chips if drilling deep holes. After use, clean the bit of chips and coolant and store it dry to preserve the coating.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use cutting fluid and a drill speed matched to the workpiece material. Clamp the workpiece securely and support thin or small parts to avoid vibration and inaccurate holes. Replace the bit when wear or chipping degrades hole quality despite proper operating technique.
