Drill bit FANAR HSS cylindrical 10.7 mm for metal, model W2-101811-1070

FANAR HSS cylindrical drill bit with a 10.7 mm cutting diameter is intended for drilling holes in a variety of metals. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), the bit offers elevated wear resistance and heat tolerance that support sustained cutting performance on drills and drilling machines with a compatible cylindrical shank. The geometry is optimised for general-purpose metalworking tasks in workshops and for industrial maintenance operations.

Advantages

The HSS material provides a balance of toughness and hardness to resist edge rounding and retain cutting ability under higher temperatures. A cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in standard drill chucks and holders, while the 10.7 mm diameter addresses mid-range hole sizes commonly required in fabrication and repair work. The bit’s design reduces the frequency of regrinding and replacement during routine metal drilling.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling through mild and alloy steels
• Workshop and maintenance drilling operations
• Fabrication and assembly where mid-diameter holes are needed
• Drill press and portable drill use with cylindrical shank chucks

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10.7 mm
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Application: metal drilling
• Intended use: general-purpose industrial and workshop operations

How to use

Install the drill bit into a properly rated chuck and tighten securely to prevent slipping. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the metal being drilled—lower speeds for harder alloys and higher speeds for softer metals—while applying steady pressure. Use cutting fluid when drilling steels and alloys to reduce heat buildup, extend tool life and improve hole finish. After use, clean chips from the flutes and store the bit in a protective holder to avoid edge damage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and feed to the workpiece material and maintain coolant application during extended drilling. Inspect the cutting edge regularly and regrind or replace the bit when wear degrades hole accuracy or increases drilling forces.
