Drill bit Bosch HSS Twist Drill Bits PointTeQ 3.2 mm, right-hand rotation, 1 pc

Bosch HSS Twist Drill Bit PointTeQ 3.2 mm is a single right-hand rotation twist drill designed for drilling metal and general-purpose materials. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), the 3.2 mm bit resists heat during rotary drilling and is suitable for use in both handheld and machine drills. The flute has a black-oxide coating to aid chip removal, and the bit is manufactured to DIN 338 with a Type N flute geometry and a 135° tip.

Advantages

The HSS construction provides good wear resistance and thermal stability for standard drilling tasks. A highly elastic body reduces the risk of breakage, particularly for diameters below 6 mm, while the black-oxide coated flute improves chip evacuation for smoother drilling. Compliance with DIN 338 and a 135° point ensure predictable centering and consistent hole quality in metal and general-purpose materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling mild steel and other metals
• General-purpose drilling in workshop and site environments
• Use with handheld drills and drill presses

When it may not be suitable

This 3.2 mm HSS twist bit is designed for standard metalworking and general-purpose tasks; it may not be optimal for very hard alloys, stainless steel at high feed rates, or specialized materials that require carbide or coated drills. For large-diameter drilling or heavy industrial production, more specialized drill types or coatings may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3.2 mm
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Rotation: Right-hand
• Flute coating: Black oxide
• Standard: DIN 338
• Flute type: Type N
• Point angle: 135°
• Packaging: 1 piece, blister

How to use

Secure the bit in the drill chuck and set the drill to right-hand rotation. Select an appropriate speed for the material being drilled (moderate speeds for metal) and use cutting fluid when drilling metal to reduce heat and extend bit life. Start with a light feed to establish the hole, then increase pressure steadily. Clear chips periodically to maintain efficient cutting and prevent clogging.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended material: best for mild steel and general-purpose metals
• Drill size needed: 3.2 mm diameter
• Compatibility with your drill chuck and required rotation
• Whether a coated or carbide bit is needed for harder or high-production tasks

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid when drilling metal, choose moderate speeds, and avoid excessive side loads to prolong the life of the 3.2 mm HSS PointTeQ drill bit.
