Drill Bit FANAR HSS cylindrical 4.5 mm for metal, model W2-101811-0450

FANAR HSS cylindrical 4.5 mm drill bit for metal is a precision tool designed for creating clean holes in steel and other ferrous or non‑ferrous metals. Manufactured from high‑speed steel (HSS), this cylindrical‑shank bit provides wear resistance and maintains hardness at elevated drilling temperatures. It is intended for use in hand drills, drill presses and machine setups that accept straight shank bits, offering reliable performance for fabrication, maintenance and repair operations.

Advantages

The HSS material ensures good heat resistance and edge retention during continuous drilling in metal. The cylindrical shank enables secure seating in standard chucks and is compatible with a wide range of drilling equipment. The 4.5 mm diameter offers a balance between precision and material removal rate, making it suitable for common metalworking hole sizes. The bit’s geometry is optimized for metal cutting to reduce wandering and produce cleaner entry and exit holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and stainless steel
• Working with non‑ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• General fabrication and assembly tasks
• Maintenance, repair and retrofit operations

Key specifications

• Material: high‑speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank
• Diameter: 4.5 mm
• Intended use: metal drilling (ferrous and non‑ferrous)

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck so that the cylindrical shank seats firmly and runs true. Select an appropriate spindle speed for the metal being drilled—lower speeds for harder steels and higher speeds for softer metals—apply steady feed pressure and use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling tougher or thicker materials to reduce heat and extend tool life. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and avoid binding.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a center punch to prevent walking on smooth surfaces, and match drill speed and lubrication to the workpiece material. Store the bit dry and protected to avoid corrosion and maintain cutting performance.
