Drill bit AWTools CONDOR cobalt for metal 11.0 mm, pack of 5

AWTools CONDOR cobalt drill bit for metal, 11.0 mm diameter, comes as a pack of five. This drill bit is manufactured for cutting through ferrous metals and steel where higher heat and wear resistance are required. The cobalt alloy at the cutting tip increases hardness and thermal stability compared with standard high-speed steel, making the bit suitable for repetitive drilling tasks in workshop and professional environments using handheld or benchtop drills.

Advantages

The cobalt tip provides improved heat resistance and extended tool life when drilling into hard metals. Its geometry and material combination deliver stable cutting performance and reduced wear under higher cutting temperatures. Supplied in a pack of five, the set ensures continuity of work and reduces downtime caused by frequent tool changes. The drill bit is compatible with common drill chucks used in both portable and stationary drilling machines.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild and alloy steels
• Repetitive workshop and production drilling
• Use with handheld electric drills and benchtop drill presses
• Tasks requiring higher heat and wear resistance than standard HSS bits

Key specifications

• Diameter: 11.0 mm
• Material: cobalt alloy cutting tip with high-speed steel body
• Quantity: pack of 5 drill bits
• Intended use: metal drilling, especially ferrous metals

How to use

Secure the appropriate 11.0 mm drill bit in a compatible drill chuck, ensuring tight clamping and correct axial alignment. When drilling metal, mark the drilling point and, if needed, use a center punch to prevent walking. Use recommended cutting speeds and moderate feed rates for the material being drilled; apply cutting fluid to reduce heat buildup and prolong bit life. Back the bit out periodically to clear chips and prevent clogging. Allow the bit to cool between long runs to avoid overheating and premature wear.

Usage recommendations

For best results on hard or alloy steels, use a lubricant or cutting fluid, moderate speed, and steady feed pressure. Replace bits in the pack as they show wear to maintain consistent hole quality and reduce the risk of workpiece damage.
