Drill bit pack AWTools AW41342 — 10 pieces, pack weight 65 g

AWTools AW41342 — 10 pieces, pack weight 65 g is a set of high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill bits intended for general drilling tasks in workshop and industrial settings. Each bit is precision ground to DIN 338 dimensions and features a cylindrical shank for fast, secure clamping in standard drill chucks. The set is sold as identical spare bits and is suitable where a longer drill reach and reliable metal-cutting performance are required.

Advantages

The bits are made of HSS high-speed steel and are precision ground to deliver consistent cutting geometry and improved wear resistance. The cylindrical shank ensures quick clamping and stable rotation in hand-held and bench drills. Compliance with DIN 338 guarantees standardized point angles and tolerances for predictable hole sizes. Their construction makes them well suited for deeper holes and applications that demand extended reach.

Suitable for

• General drilling in alloyed and unalloyed steels
• Drilling in gray cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• Plastic materials and other soft engineering plastics
• Workshop spare bits for production lines and maintenance
• DIY and woodworking tasks requiring metal or plastic hole-making

Key specifications

• Material: HSS (high-speed steel), precision ground
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Quantity: 10 identical drill bits per pack
• Pack weight: 65 g
• Standard: manufactured to DIN 338 dimensions
• Suitable for: alloyed and unalloyed steel, gray cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics
• Application: suitable for deeper holes and longer reach drilling

How to use

Select a drill speed and cutting lubricant appropriate for the work material, clamp a single AWTools bit firmly in the drill chuck by its cylindrical shank, and position the workpiece securely. Start drilling with steady pressure, allowing the bit to cut without excessive force. Retract periodically from deep holes to clear chips and apply coolant or lubricant as needed to reduce heat and prolong tool life. Replace bits from the pack as they wear to maintain consistent hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling steels and cast irons, use cutting fluid and moderate speed; for non-ferrous metals and plastics, higher speeds with less lubrication are generally acceptable. Match drill speed and feed to material hardness, inspect bits regularly for wear, and store the pack in a dry place to prevent corrosion.
