Drill Bit for Metal EPM HSS cylindrical 1.5 mm 2 pcs (E-500-1015)

These EPM cylindrical HSS drill bits, 1.5 mm diameter, are made for precise metal drilling tasks. Supplied as a pack of two, the bits are manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) to deliver hardness and wear resistance needed for drilling thin metal sheets, small holes and other light metalworking operations. Their cylindrical shank design fits standard chucks on handheld drills and drill presses, making them suitable for maintenance, repair and fabrication environments where small-diameter accuracy is required.

Advantages

High-speed steel construction gives a balance of toughness and hardness for improved cutting performance and longer life when drilling metals. The small 1.5 mm diameter enables precise, fine-hole work and accurate positioning for tasks such as pilot holes or instrument mounting. Supplied in a twin-pack, the set provides an immediate spare for uninterrupted work and reduces the need for frequent replacements during small-batch operations.

Suitable for

• Drilling thin metal sheets and plates
• Creating small-diameter holes for fasteners or rivets
• Precision metalworking, electronics chassis and instrument panels
• Maintenance and repair tasks with handheld drills or drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: Cylindrical shank compatible with standard chucks
• Diameter: 1.5 mm
• Pack quantity: 2 pieces
• Application: Metal drilling, thin sheet and small hole work

How to use

Select an appropriate drill speed and use firm, steady pressure when drilling metal with the 1.5 mm HSS bit to avoid wandering. Clamp the workpiece securely and, for thin sheets, use backing material to prevent deformation or burr formation. Apply cutting fluid or suitable lubricant for prolonged bit life and improved chip evacuation when drilling ferrous metals. Replace the bit when signs of wear or dulling reduce hole quality.

Usage recommendations

Use lower spindle speeds and light feed for small-diameter bits; keep the drill perpendicular to the work surface and ensure secure clamping. Store the bits in a dry place to prevent corrosion and use cutting fluid when drilling harder metals to maintain performance and extend service life.
