Drill bit FANAR HSS cylindrical 9 mm for metal, model W2-101811-0900

Cylindrical HSS drill bit FANAR, 9 mm diameter, designed for drilling metal. The bit is made of high-speed steel (HSS) to provide wear resistance and heat tolerance during cutting operations. With a straight cylindrical shank it fits hand drills and drill presses and is intended for general metalworking tasks, fabrication, maintenance and repair where a precise 9 mm hole is required.

Advantages

The FANAR HSS drill bit offers consistent hardness and edge retention typical of high-speed steel, which helps maintain cutting performance under elevated temperatures. Its cylindrical shank ensures stable clamping in standard drill chucks, while the 9 mm diameter provides a common size for many metalworking applications. The overall design emphasizes straightforward compatibility with common drilling equipment and predictable hole quality in ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop fabrication and metal assembly
• Maintenance, repair and replacement tasks
• Use with hand-held drills and bench drill presses

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank suitable for standard chucks
• Diameter: 9 mm
• Intended material: metal (ferrous and non-ferrous)
• Typical applications: general metal drilling, fabrication and maintenance

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in the chuck, ensuring the cylindrical shank is centered to minimize runout. Select an appropriate cutting speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled; lower speeds for harder steels and higher speeds for softer non-ferrous metals. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling thicker sections or harder materials to reduce heat buildup and prolong bit life. Apply steady pressure and allow the drill to cut without excessive force; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deeper holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match cutting speed and lubrication to the workpiece material: slower speeds and generous coolant for hardened steels, moderate speeds for mild steel, and higher speeds for aluminium and copper alloys. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before use and replace when the tip is dull to avoid poor hole quality and increased heat.
