Drill bit FANAR HSS solid shank for metal 9.9 mm W2-101811-0990

Solid shank FANAR HSS drill bit for metal, diameter 9.9 mm, designed for drilling through-holes in steel and other metals. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) to provide improved wear resistance and thermal stability during continuous cutting. The solid shank ensures secure clamping in drill chucks and press chucks, making it suitable for workshop repairs, fabrication, maintenance and general metalworking tasks with both hand drills and drill presses.

Advantages

The HSS material offers increased hardness and heat resistance compared with standard carbon steel bits, reducing wear and retaining cutting edge integrity at higher operating temperatures. The solid shank provides reliable grip in chucks and minimizes runout for more accurate holes. The 9.9 mm diameter is useful when a slightly undersized 10 mm hole is required or for progressive drilling steps when enlarging pilot holes.

Suitable for

• Drilling through-holes in mild steel, stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
• Use with hand drills for on-site repairs and maintenance
• Use with drill presses for workshop fabrication and repetitive drilling
• Enlarging or finishing pre-drilled pilot holes

Key specifications

• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shaft type: solid shank for secure chuck clamping
• Nominal diameter: 9.9 mm
• Application: drilling metals (through-holes)

How to use

Select the proper drilling speed and feed rate for the metal being worked and mount the 9.9 mm FANAR HSS drill bit securely in the drill chuck or press chuck. Use cutting fluid or coolant as appropriate for the material to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. Start drilling at moderate speed to establish the hole, then maintain consistent pressure and speed until the hole is complete. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and allow cooling.

Usage recommendations

For best tool life and hole quality, use recommended cutting fluids for ferrous metals, avoid excessive speed on stainless steel, and ensure correct alignment in the chuck. Inspect the bit before use for any damage and replace if the cutting edges are worn or chipped.
