Drill bit AWTools AW41980, pack of 5 pieces

AWTools AW41980 drill bit pack contains five precision-ground high-speed steel (HSS-G M2) bits designed for general-purpose drilling. Each bit features a two-cutting-edge geometry with black oxide coating and a centering point with a 135° point angle. The pack is intended as a compact replacement set for construction, renovation, workshop and DIY tasks, and is supplied in a protective case for organized storage.

Advantages

The HSS-G M2 material ensures high wear resistance and maintains cutting performance under repeated use. Precision grinding and two cutting edges promote accurate hole making and reduced vibration. Black oxide surface treatment improves corrosion resistance and chip flow. The 135° centering point lowers the risk of walking on the workpiece and reduces the likelihood of breakage during starting and angled entry.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel
• Working with grey cast iron
• Drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass and copper
• Drilling plastics and other soft materials
• General construction, renovation and workshop repairs

Key specifications

• Material: HSS-G M2 high-speed steel
• Cutting geometry: two-cutting-edge, precision ground
• Point angle: 135° centering point
• Coating: black oxide
• Wear resistance: high
• Pack contents: 5 drill bits in a storage case

How to use

Select a drill bit size compatible with the material and the drill chuck. Secure the workpiece and use appropriate clamping. Fit the bit tightly in the drill chuck, set the drill to the correct speed for HSS bits and the material being drilled, and start drilling with steady, moderate pressure. For metals, use cutting fluid or lubricant to prolong bit life and improve chip evacuation. After use, clean chips from flutes and store the bits in the provided case.

Usage recommendations

Use slower speeds and cutting fluid for harder or alloyed steels; increase speed for softer metals and plastics. Avoid excessive axial force to reduce risk of breakage. Replace bits when wear affects hole accuracy or chip removal becomes poor.
