Drill bit AWTools AW41848, pack of 10

AWTools AW41848 drill bit pack of 10 contains ten precision-ground HSS-G M2 high-speed steel bits finished with black oxide. Each bit features two cutting edges and a centering point with a 135° point angle, designed for use with standard drills to create clean holes in compatible materials. The bits are supplied in a case for organised storage and transport, suited to workshop, construction, or home improvement tasks that require multiple identical drill bits.

Advantages

Manufactured from HSS-G M2 high-speed steel, these drill bits offer high wear resistance and consistent cutting performance. The black oxide finish improves surface hardness and corrosion resistance, while the precision-ground geometry and two cutting edges reduce cutting forces and deliver smooth hole walls. The 135° centering point helps accurate positioning and reduces walking at drill start. Supplied in a multi-pack with a case, the set lowers the need for frequent tool changes during repetitive drilling operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels
• Drilling grey cast iron
• Drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper
• Drilling plastics and composite materials
• Workshop, construction, and general maintenance drilling tasks

Key specifications

• Material: HSS-G M2 high-speed steel
• Coating/finish: black oxide
• Cutting geometry: precision ground, two cutting edges
• Point angle: 135° centering point
• Pack contents: 10 identical drill bits in a storage case

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a standard hand drill or drill press, ensuring correct centering and firm clamping. Select an appropriate drilling speed and feed rate for the material being worked; lower speeds are recommended for harder metals and higher speeds for softer metals and plastics. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically to clear chips if drilling deep holes. Use appropriate cutting fluid when machining steels and alloys to reduce heat and extend tool life.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metals, use cutting fluid and moderate speed to prolong bit life. When starting holes in sheet material, consider a pilot mark or center punch to improve centering. Store bits in the supplied case to protect cutting edges and maintain organisation.
