Bosch PRO Metal HSS-G Spiral Drill Bit 2x24x49mm

The Bosch PRO Metal HSS-G spiral drill bit is a precision-engineered tool designed for high-performance drilling in metal. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this drill bit provides excellent durability and heat resistance, ensuring consistent results even during demanding metalworking tasks. Its geometry is optimized for efficient chip removal, which helps maintain drilling speed and extends the life of the tool.

Advantages

This drill bit stands out due to its high-precision ground construction, which allows for accurate hole placement and clean entry points. The HSS-G material composition ensures that the bit remains sharp for longer periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Its robust design minimizes the risk of breakage, providing reliability for both professional tradespeople and experienced DIY enthusiasts working with various metal types.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in alloyed and non-alloyed steel
• Working with cast iron and cast steel
• Precision drilling in non-ferrous metals
• General metal fabrication and repair tasks

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use on masonry, concrete, or extremely hard materials like hardened steel or ceramics, as these can cause rapid wear or damage to the cutting edges. It is also not optimized for drilling deep holes in wood or plastic where specialized geometry might be required for better performance.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 2 mm
• Working length: 24 mm
• Total length: 49 mm
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G)
• Design: Spiral drill bit

How to use

To achieve the best results, ensure the drill bit is securely fastened in the drill chuck. Mark the center of the hole with a center punch to prevent the bit from wandering during the initial contact. Apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a consistent rotational speed appropriate for the material being drilled. Using a suitable cutting oil can significantly improve the finish of the hole and extend the lifespan of the drill bit by reducing friction and heat buildup.

What to consider before purchase

• Check the compatibility of your drill chuck with a 2 mm shank diameter
• Ensure the material thickness does not exceed the working length of the bit
• Consider purchasing a set if you require multiple sizes for your project

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal to prevent injury from flying chips. Periodically clear the drill bit of metal shavings to maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent overheating.
