Drill bit EPM HSS cylindrical 9.5 mm for metal, model E-500-1095

The EPM HSS cylindrical 9.5 mm drill bit is engineered for reliable metal drilling where a precise 9.5 mm hole is required. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this solid cylindrical bit offers consistent cutting performance and wear resistance across ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Its geometry and material suit both occasional workshop tasks and repetitive industrial applications when used with hand drills or drill presses.

Advantages

This HSS drill bit delivers stable cutting performance and long service life due to its high-speed steel construction. The cylindrical shank provides secure clamping in standard drill chucks, reducing runout and improving hole accuracy. The bit’s design supports effective chip evacuation and consistent hole diameter when drilling into sheet metal, mild steel, aluminum and other common metal alloys.

Suitable for

• Creating 9.5 mm holes in ferrous metals such as mild steel
• Drilling non-ferrous metals including aluminum and copper alloys
• Use in hand-held drills and bench drill presses for workshop and industrial tasks
• Pilot and through-holes in metal fabrication and maintenance work

Key specifications

• Drill type: twist drill bit for metal
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 9.5 mm
• Shank: cylindrical
• Intended use: metal drilling (ferrous and non-ferrous)

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in the drill chuck, ensuring minimal runout. Mark the drilling point and use a center punch where necessary to prevent walking on smooth surfaces. Select an appropriate drilling speed for the metal being machined—lower speeds for harder steels and higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Apply steady, moderate feed pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear chips and, where suitable, use cutting fluid to reduce heat and improve tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to extend bit life and improve surface finish. For best results, match drill speed and feed to material hardness, and replace the bit if wear or chipping compromises hole accuracy.
