Drill bit FANAR HSS 2 mm — high-speed steel twist drill, 2 mm diameter

FANAR HSS 2 mm drill bit is a high-speed steel twist drill with a 2 mm cutting diameter, engineered for creating small, precise holes in metals and other materials compatible with HSS. The single-flute geometry and conventional two‑lip point deliver predictable chip evacuation and a clean entry when used in hand drills or drill presses. The solid HSS construction provides heat resistance and wear durability needed for general metalworking, maintenance and light fabrication tasks where accuracy and small diameter holes are required.

Advantages

The FANAR HSS 2 mm drill bit offers a compact profile and consistent concentricity that helps maintain hole accuracy at small diameters. Its high-speed steel composition increases heat tolerance during continuous drilling, reducing the risk of softening or premature wear. The twist-drill design supports stable cutting performance in various steels, non-ferrous metals and some plastics when used with appropriate speeds and lubrication. The bit’s small diameter allows fine work and precise pilot holes for subsequent tapping or reaming.

Suitable for

• Drilling small-diameter holes in steel and stainless steel (with proper drilling speed and coolant)
• Work on aluminium, brass and other non-ferrous metals
• Creating pilot holes for screws, rivets or taps in light fabrication
• Precision maintenance and repair tasks on machinery and equipment
• Use in hand drills, miniature drill presses and drilling fixtures

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 2 mm
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Type: twist drill / two‑lip point geometry
• Shank: straight round shank suitable for standard drill chucks
• Typical applications: metalworking, maintenance, small fabrication

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck ensuring correct centering and minimal runout. Select an appropriate spindle speed for the work material — higher speeds for non-ferrous metals, moderate speeds for steels — and apply cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous materials to extend tool life. Start drilling with light pressure to establish a precise entry point, then increase feed steadily without applying excessive force. Withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes. After use, clean the bit and store in a protective holder to avoid damage to the cutting edges.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the FANAR HSS 2 mm drill bit with a properly aligned chuck and recommended speeds: approximately 2000–4000 RPM for aluminium and non-ferrous metals, and lower speeds for harder steels depending on material hardness. Apply suitable cutting fluid for ferrous materials and use a pilot or center punch for precise start points on smooth surfaces. Avoid lateral loads or excessive feed that can cause bit breakage at this small diameter.
