Bosch HSS-G Metal Drill Bit Set, 5 mm, 10 Pieces

The Bosch HSS-G metal drill bit set provides 10 precision-ground drill bits, each with a 5 mm diameter, engineered for high-performance drilling in metal. These bits are manufactured to meet rigorous standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliability for both professional tradespeople and home improvement enthusiasts. The HSS-G construction allows for rapid material removal and maintains sharpness even during demanding drilling tasks.

Advantages

These drill bits feature a precision-ground design that significantly improves drilling speed and accuracy compared to standard rolled bits. The high-speed steel material provides excellent heat resistance, which is essential when working with hard metals. The geometry of the bits ensures efficient chip evacuation, reducing the risk of clogging and overheating during operation. Their durable construction translates into a longer service life, making them a cost-effective choice for frequent metalworking tasks.

Suitable for

• Drilling into steel and cast iron
• Working with non-ferrous metals and alloys
• Precision hole creation in metal sheets
• Professional workshop maintenance and repair
• DIY metal fabrication projects

When it may not be suitable

These drill bits are specifically optimized for metalworking and may not be the most efficient choice for drilling into masonry, concrete, or extremely hard materials like hardened steel or ceramics. Using them on materials outside their intended scope may lead to premature dulling or damage to the cutting edges.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 5.0 mm
• Working length: 52.0 mm
• Total length: 86.0 mm
• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G)
• Quantity: 10 pieces

How to use

To achieve the best results, secure your workpiece firmly using a clamp or vice to prevent movement. Align the drill bit perpendicular to the surface and apply steady, moderate pressure. It is recommended to use a cutting oil or lubricant when drilling into metal to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and extend the life of the drill bit. Start at a lower speed and increase as necessary, ensuring the drill bit remains cool during the process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill chuck is compatible with a 5 mm cylindrical shank.
• Ensure the drill bit diameter matches your specific project requirements.
• Consider the thickness of the material to ensure the 52 mm working length is sufficient.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection and safety gear when drilling metal. Regularly inspect the drill bits for signs of wear or dulling to maintain drilling precision and safety.
