Drill bit for metal FANAR HSS cylindrical 3.8 mm W2-101811-0380

FANAR HSS cylindrical drill bit 3.8 mm is designed for drilling metal with handheld drills and drill presses. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), the 3.8 mm diameter bit provides wear resistance and retains cutting performance at elevated temperatures common in metalworking. The cylindrical shank fits standard chucks, enabling straightforward mounting for workshop and maintenance tasks that require precise hole making in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Advantages

The HSS material ensures a balance of hardness and toughness for extended tool life when cutting metal. The 3.8 mm diameter offers a standard size for common fastening and assembly needs. A cylindrical shank simplifies clamping in a wide range of drills and reduces setup time. The bit’s geometry is optimized for metal drilling to provide consistent chip evacuation and stable drilling performance under typical workshop speeds.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, iron and other ferrous metals
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Maintenance, repair and assembly tasks in workshops and factories
• Use with handheld drills and bench or pillar drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Drill diameter: 3.8 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical
• Intended application: Metal drilling (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Suitable mounting: Standard drill chucks

How to use

Secure the FANAR HSS 3.8 mm drill bit in the drill chuck so it is centered and clamped tightly. Select an appropriate spindle speed for the metal being drilled—lower speeds for harder steels, higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals—and apply steady, moderate feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling tougher or thicker metals to reduce heat and extend tool life. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the workpiece material and use cutting fluid when drilling steel or stainless steel. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace if the cutting edges are rounded or chipped. Store the drill bit in a protective case or rack to prevent damage to the cutting edges.
