Drill Bit Set for Metal EINHELL 19-piece HSS-R Black

The EINHELL 19-piece HSS-R Black drill bit set for metal offers a comprehensive selection of high-speed steel bits designed specifically for drilling steel and other ferrous metals. The set includes a range of diameters to cover common metalworking tasks and is compatible with handheld drills and drill presses. HSS-R construction delivers hardness and heat resistance appropriate for general workshop use, maintenance, repair and light fabrication work.

Advantages

This drill bit set features HSS-R (high-speed steel, rolled) geometry that provides a balance of toughness and wear resistance for drilling through metal. The black surface finish helps reduce glare and may offer minor protection against corrosion during storage. The assortment of sizes in a single kit minimizes downtime searching for matching drill bits and supports a variety of hole diameters for different projects. Bits are suitable for use in standard three-jaw chucks and can be used with variable-speed drills to control cutting conditions.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild and alloy steels, sheet metal and metal plates
• Workshop maintenance and equipment repairs
• Light metal fabrication and fitting tasks
• Use with handheld electric drills and drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS-R)
• Finish: Black surface finish
• Piece count: 19 bits covering a range of diameters for common metal drilling needs
• Compatible tool types: Handheld drills and drill presses with standard chucks
• Suitable work materials: Ferrous metals, steel sheet, metal plates

How to use

Select the appropriate drill bit diameter for the required hole and secure it in the drill chuck ensuring concentric seating. When drilling metal, mark the drilling point and, where appropriate, use a center punch to prevent bit walking. Use cutting lubricant for improved bit life and reduced heat when drilling thicker or harder steels. Operate the drill at moderate speed, applying steady pressure without forcing the bit; withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips. After use, clean and store the bits in their case to maintain condition.

Usage recommendations

To extend tool life and ensure accurate holes, use appropriate cutting fluid, start with a pilot hole for larger diameters, and reduce speed when approaching full thickness on harder metals. Always wear appropriate eye protection and follow general workshop safety practices when drilling metal.
