Drill bit pack AWTools AW42080 — 5 pcs

AWTools AW42080 — 5 pcs drill bit pack contains five identical HSS-Co high-speed steel bits with 5% cobalt, precision ground and featuring a two-cutting-edge design with a centering point at a 135° angle. The set is supplied in a durable case and is designed for repeated use in trade, workshops and home projects where a robust, heat-resistant metal-cutting drill is required. These bits are suitable for a range of materials including alloyed and unalloyed steel, grey cast iron, non-ferrous metals and plastics.

Advantages

The AWTools AW42080 bits combine cobalt-alloyed HSS material and precision grinding to provide improved heat resistance and extended wear life compared with standard high-speed steel. The two-cutting-edge geometry and 135° centering point reduce walking on start and improve hole quality, while the uniform set of five allows quick replacement or simultaneous use in multiple machines. Supplied in a protective case, the pack is convenient to store and transport.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and unalloyed steel
• Working with grey cast iron
• Drilling non-ferrous metals (aluminium, brass, copper)
• Creating holes in plastics
• Workshop, trade and DIY applications requiring durable metal-cutting bits

• Suitable materials: alloyed and unalloyed steel, grey cast iron, non-ferrous metals, plastics

How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit size for the required hole diameter and secure it in the drill chuck with firm grip and correct alignment. Use recommended cutting speeds and feed rates for the material being drilled; for harder steels, lower speed and steady feed are advised. Apply cutting fluid or coolant when drilling metals to reduce heat and prolong tool life. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bits in the supplied case to protect the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

For best performance and longest life, use appropriate lubricants when drilling metals, avoid excessive feed pressure that can cause breakage, and allow periodic cooling during prolonged drilling operations. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace bits from the pack when wear degrades hole quality.
