Drill Bit Set EINHELL HSS-G Silver for Metal, 6 pieces, MPN 49205506

The EINHELL HSS-G Silver 6-piece drill bit set for metal contains ground high-speed steel (HSS-G) bits designed for drilling into metal. This compact set is intended for general metalworking, maintenance and light fabrication tasks where accurate, clean holes are required. The bits are compatible with standard drill chucks and are supplied as six sizes to cover common drilling needs in workshops and repair environments.

Advantages

The HSS-G construction provides good hardness and wear resistance for drilling a range of metal types. Ground flutes enable more precise cutting geometry compared with rolled bits, which helps produce cleaner holes and reduces wobble during drilling. The set format offers a small, organised selection of sizes for everyday metal drilling tasks and is compatible with standard handheld and bench drills.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, non-ferrous metals and sheet metal
• General workshop and maintenance drilling tasks
• Light fabrication and assembly work involving metal components
• Use with standard keyed or keyless drill chucks on handheld and bench drills

When it may not be suitable

This HSS-G drill bit set is not intended for hardened steels, masonry, concrete, ceramic or other non-metal materials that require specialised masonry, carbide or cobalt bits. For heavy industrial applications with high-speed, high-load conditions or for drilling through very hard alloys, higher-performance or purpose-specific drills are recommended.

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-G, ground)
• Number of pieces: 6
• Intended use: Metal drilling
• Compatibility: Standard drill chucks (handheld and bench drills)
• Finish: Silver (ground surface)

How to use

Secure the appropriate-size drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten it firmly. Mark and, if necessary, centre-punch the drilling point on the metal surface to reduce bit wandering. Use suitable cutting speeds and steady feed pressure for the material being drilled; apply cutting lubricant on thicker or tougher metal to extend bit life and improve chip evacuation. Clear chips frequently and allow the bit to cool if it becomes hot during prolonged use.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the included bit sizes cover your typical drilling needs.
• Ensure your drill accepts standard straight-shank bits.
• Consider whether you need specialised bits for hardened steel, masonry, or ceramic.
• Plan for cutting fluid or lubrication if you will drill thicker or tougher metals frequently.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate drilling speeds for the metal type, apply cutting fluid for improved life and finish, and keep steady, controlled pressure to reduce heat buildup and extend the useful life of the HSS-G bits.
