Drill bit FANAR HSS cylindrical 6.9 mm for metal, model W2-101811-0690

FANAR HSS cylindrical drill bit 6.9 mm is designed for drilling metal with handheld drills and drill presses. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this solid cylindrical shank drill bit maintains cutting edge hardness at elevated temperatures and offers reliable performance for general metalworking tasks such as making clearance holes, fabrication, maintenance and repair in workshop and industrial environments.

Advantages

The HSS material provides good wear resistance and heat tolerance during continuous drilling in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The cylindrical shank fits standard drill chucks securely, enabling stable rotation and accurate hole placement. Precision ground flutes assist in efficient chip evacuation and consistent cutting action, which helps extend tool life and reduce the need for frequent regrinding.

Suitable for

• Drilling clearance and pilot holes in steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
• Fabrication and assembly tasks in workshops and small-scale production
• Maintenance, repair and mechanical servicing
• Use with handheld electric drills and bench drill presses

Key specifications

• Drill type: twist drill with cylindrical shank
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 6.9 mm
• Shank style: cylindrical (suitable for standard chucks)
• Typical application: metalworking (ferrous and non-ferrous metals)

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck so it is centered and tightly clamped. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed for the workpiece material; lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for softer, non-ferrous metals. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel or stainless steel to reduce heat buildup and improve chip evacuation. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing. Retract periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match spindle speed, feed rate and coolant to the metal type. Store the drill bit in a dry place and inspect for wear or damage before use; replace if the cutting edges are dull or chipped. When drilling thin sheets, back up the workpiece to prevent burrs and reduce distortion.
