Drill bit for metal EPM E-500-1020 HSS cylindrical 2 mm 2 pcs

Drill bit for metal EPM E-500-1020 HSS cylindrical 2 mm, pack of 2 is a precision tool designed for drilling metal and metal alloys. Made from high-speed steel (HSS) with a straight cylindrical shank, these 2 mm bits suit handheld drills and drill presses and are intended for general metalworking tasks such as creating pilot holes, precision drilling in thin sheet metal and light fabrication operations.

Advantages

The HSS material provides a balance of hardness and toughness suitable for most common ferrous and non-ferrous metals, while the cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard drill chucks. The small 2 mm diameter facilitates accurate pilot holes and fine-detail work, and the two-piece pack offers an immediate spare for repeat tasks or breakage. The bits are compatible with typical drilling speeds for HSS and require no special tooling changes for use in handheld or benchtop drilling equipment.

Suitable for

• Drilling pilot holes in sheet metal and thin-gauge panels
• Precision small-diameter holes in light fabrication and repair
• General workshop drilling with handheld drills or drill presses
• Working with common ferrous and non-ferrous metal alloys

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Tip/point type: Standard twist drill geometry for metal
• Shank type: Cylindrical straight shank for standard chucks
• Diameter: 2 mm
• Pack quantity: 2 pieces

How to use

Fit the 2 mm cylindrical HSS drill bit securely in the chuck of a handheld drill or drill press, ensuring correct alignment and firm clamping. Select a drill speed appropriate for HSS and the workpiece material—moderate to high speeds for non-ferrous metals and lower speeds for harder ferrous alloys. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling harder metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, even feed pressure and clear chips periodically to maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a center punch to prevent walking on thin sheets, use appropriate coolant on harder materials, and replace the bit if it shows signs of dulling or chipping. Store the bits in a protective case to prevent damage and maintain cutting performance.
