Drill bit Artu cylindrical titanium-coated for metal 3 mm (Artu 16735)

Artu cylindrical titanium-coated drill bit for metal, 3 mm diameter, is designed for drilling precise holes in steel, iron and other hard materials. The titanium coating reduces friction and increases surface hardness compared with uncoated high-speed steel, extending tool life under normal drilling conditions. The cylindrical shank ensures stable mounting in chucks and holders commonly used in hand drills and drill presses.

Advantages

The titanium coating improves resistance to wear and heat during drilling, allowing higher cutting speeds and longer service intervals. The 3 mm diameter provides accurate hole sizing for mechanical assembly, fastening and light fabrication tasks. The cylindrical shank offers compatibility with standard drill chucks and provides stable concentricity for straightforward drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and iron sheets and plates
• Creating pilot holes for screws and fasteners
• General metalworking and machinery maintenance
• DIY projects and workshop tasks requiring 3 mm holes

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3 mm
• Coating: titanium
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Material type: designed for metal and similar hard materials

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck and ensure it is firmly clamped. Mark the drilling point and, where appropriate, use a center punch to prevent wandering. Select a suitable drill speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled; lower speeds are recommended for harder steels. Apply cutting lubricant or coolant when drilling thicker sections or when sustained drilling generates heat. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and inspect for wear.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp workpieces securely, and avoid excessive side loads. Replace the bit once wear or loss of cutting performance is observed to maintain hole quality and safe operation.
