Bosch HSS PointTeQ Twist Drill Bit

The Bosch HSS PointTeQ twist drill bit is a high-performance tool engineered for efficient and precise drilling in metal. Featuring a specialized PointTeQ tip design, this drill bit allows for rapid drilling starts without the need for center punching, as the self-centering tip prevents the bit from wandering on the material surface. Its robust construction and optimized geometry ensure consistent performance and a long service life, making it a reliable choice for both professional metalworking and demanding DIY projects.

Advantages

The primary advantage of the PointTeQ design is its ability to maintain high drilling speeds while minimizing heat buildup and wear. The highly elastic body of the drill bit significantly reduces the risk of breakage during operation. Furthermore, the black-oxide coated flute facilitates rapid chip removal, which keeps the cutting area clean and improves overall drilling efficiency. The 135-degree tip angle ensures excellent centering and stability, resulting in clean and accurate holes in various metal types.

Suitable for

• Drilling in steel
• Drilling in cast iron
• Professional metalworking tasks
• DIY home improvement projects
• Use with drill stands and drill drivers

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is specifically optimized for metal applications and may not provide optimal results when used on masonry, concrete, or soft wood. It is not intended for use with impact drivers or hammer drills, as the high-impact force can damage the precision tip and the drill bit structure.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 14.5 mm
• Total length: 169 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Rotation: Right-hand
• Material compatibility: Steel, Cast iron
• Tip angle: 135 degrees
• Standard: DIN 338

How to use

To use the Bosch HSS PointTeQ drill bit, insert the cylindrical shank into the three-jaw chuck of your drill or drill stand and tighten it securely. Ensure the drill is set to right-hand rotation. Position the tip of the drill bit on the desired mark and apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a consistent speed. The self-centering tip will engage immediately, allowing for a smooth start. It is recommended to use a cutting oil when drilling into hard metals to further reduce heat and extend the life of the bit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill chuck is compatible with the 14.5 mm cylindrical shank diameter.
• Ensure the drill speed is adjusted according to the material being drilled.
• Check that the drill bit diameter matches the required hole size for your specific application.

Usage recommendations

For best results and to maximize the longevity of the drill bit, always maintain a steady feed rate and avoid excessive lateral pressure. Regularly clear metal chips from the hole during deep drilling to prevent overheating and binding.
