Drill bit FANAR HSS cylindrical 1.3 mm for metal, model W2-101811-0130

Solid high-speed steel (HSS) cylindrical shank drill bit FANAR, 1.3 mm diameter, designed specifically for drilling metal. The 1.3 mm cutting diameter and cylindrical shank make this drill bit compatible with standard drill chucks and suitable for creating precise small-diameter holes in thin steel, aluminium, copper and various metal alloys. The tool is intended for tasks where accuracy and a fine hole finish are required, such as metalworking, maintenance and electronics enclosure fabrication.

Advantages

The FANAR HSS drill bit offers a precise 1.3 mm diameter produced from high-speed steel for adequate hardness and wear resistance during metal drilling. Its cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard chucks and straightforward replacement. The small diameter and sharp geometry enable accurate positioning and clean entry in thin metal sheets and components, reducing the need for extensive deburring.

Suitable for

• Drilling small holes in thin steel sheets and metal panels
• Work on aluminium, brass, copper and similar non-ferrous metals
• Maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Fabrication and modification of electronic enclosures and brackets
• Hobby and model-making projects requiring fine metal drilling

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical
• Cutting diameter: 1.3 mm
• Intended use: drilling metal
• Compatibility: standard drill chucks accepting cylindrical shanks

How to use

Select a drill chuck that securely grips a cylindrical shank and mount the 1.3 mm FANAR HSS bit with minimal runout. Mark the drilling point and, for thin sheets, consider using a center punch to prevent walking. Use appropriate spindle speed for small HSS bits and the metal being drilled—higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals and moderate speeds for steel. Apply steady pressure and let the bit cut; avoid excessive force. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or alloyed metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Clear chips regularly to prevent clogging and maintain hole quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, secure workpieces firmly, use light pecking motions with intermittent chip clearing, and apply suitable cutting fluid when drilling steels or heat-sensitive alloys. Replace the bit when wear or chipping degrades hole accuracy.
