Drill bit pack AWTools AW42060 — 10 pieces, standard drill bits

AWTools AW42060 — 10 pieces, standard drill bits is a set of ten identical HSS-Co high-speed steel drill bits designed for general drilling tasks. Each bit is precision ground with two cutting edges and a centering point featuring a 135° point angle. The set is supplied in a case and is intended for use with compatible hand drills and drill drivers for workshop, construction or maintenance work where multiple replacement or consumable bits are needed.

Advantages

The bits are manufactured from HSS-Co high-speed steel that contains 5% cobalt, providing increased heat resistance and improved wear performance compared with standard HSS. Precision grinding and two cutting edges ensure consistent drilling performance and accurate hole geometry. The 135° centering point reduces walking at startup and improves control when drilling into metals and plastics. Supplied in a case, the pack keeps bits organized and ready for quick replacement.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel
• Drilling grey cast iron
• Drilling non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and brass
• Drilling plastic parts and components
• Use with hand drills and drill drivers in workshops and on construction sites

Key specifications

• Material: HSS-Co high-speed steel with 5% cobalt
• Cutting geometry: precision ground, two cutting edges
• Point angle: 135° centering point
• Pack contents: 10 identical drill bits in a storage case
• Typical applications: metal and plastic drilling

How to use

Fit the appropriate drill bit into the chuck of a compatible hand drill or drill driver and tighten securely. Select a drilling speed and, if required, cutting fluid appropriate for the material being drilled to reduce heat and extend tool life. Start drilling with light pressure to allow the 135° centering point to engage, then increase pressure steadily while maintaining alignment. Retract the bit periodically when drilling deep holes to clear chips and prevent clogging.

Usage recommendations

Use lower speeds and cutting fluid when drilling hardened or alloyed steels to maximise bit life. For non-ferrous metals and plastics, moderate speeds and steady feed will produce clean holes. Replace bits when wear or loss of cutting edge integrity is observed; carrying spare bits from this 10-piece pack ensures continuous work without downtime.
