Drill bit AWTools AW41840 — pack of 10, metal/wood drilling, standard shank

AWTools AW41840 drill bit pack of 10 is designed for general-purpose drilling in metal and wood. Each bit is made from HSS-G M2 high-speed steel, precision ground with two cutting edges and finished with a black oxide coating. The bits feature a centering point with a 135° point angle, offering controlled penetration and reduced walking when starting holes. Supplied as a multi-pack in a storage case, this set is intended for small projects, repairs and professional tasks that require multiple identical drill bits.

Advantages

The HSS-G M2 construction provides high wear resistance and improved durability compared with standard carbon steel bits. Precision grinding and two cutting edges deliver consistent chip removal and accurate hole geometry. The black oxide finish enhances corrosion resistance and reduces friction during drilling. The 135° centering point lowers the risk of breakage and helps maintain the correct hole position on metal and wood surfaces. Packaged in a case, the set keeps bits organized and readily accessible.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in alloyed and unalloyed steel
• Working with grey cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• General-purpose drilling in wood and plastic
• Workshop repairs, maintenance and small construction tasks

How to use

Mark the drilling position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material: lower speeds for harder metals, higher speeds for softer metals and wood. Fit the bit into the drill chuck and tighten securely. Begin drilling with moderate pressure, allowing the bit to cut without excessive force. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat and extend bit life. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and prevent clogging. After use, store bits in their case to protect the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metals, use a suitable cutting lubricant and match drill speed to material hardness. Replace worn bits to maintain hole accuracy and reduce the risk of breakage. The 135° point is especially useful when starting holes in metal; for precise alignment on smooth surfaces, consider using a center punch before drilling.
