Drill bit pack AWTools AW41865 — 10 pieces, metal/wood drilling

AWTools AW41865 drill bit pack contains 10 high-speed steel bits designed for routine drilling tasks in metal and wood. Each bit is precision ground from HSS-G (M2) high-speed steel and finished with a black oxide coating. The set is supplied in a case for convenient storage and transport and is suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses for construction, repair and do-it-yourself projects.

Advantages

The drill bits feature two cutting edges and a centering point with a 135° point angle, which improves bite and reduces walking when starting a hole. Black oxide surface treatment increases wear resistance and corrosion protection. Precision grinding and the high-quality HSS-G (M2) material provide improved toughness and a lower risk of breakage during normal use.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steels
• Drilling grey cast iron
• Drilling non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass)
• Drilling plastics and general-purpose woodworking

Key specifications

• Material: HSS-G (M2) high-speed steel
• Coating: black oxide
• Cutting geometry: two cutting edges
• Point angle: 135° centering point
• Quantity: 10 pieces in a storage case
• Finish: precision ground flutes

How to use

Select a drill speed appropriate for the material being drilled, clamp the workpiece securely and centre the bit on the mark. Start drilling at low speed to allow the 135° centering point to locate accurately, then increase speed as appropriate. Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and clear chips periodically. For metal drilling, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend bit life; for plastics and soft metals, reduce speed to avoid melting or clogging.

Usage recommendations

Use the bits within recommended speed ranges for each material and employ cutting fluid for steel to maximise wear resistance and reduce the risk of breakage. Store the set in its case to protect the cutting edges and maintain precision.
