FANAR HSS cylindrical metal drill bit 13.5 mm (W2-101811-1350)

FANAR HSS cylindrical metal drill bit 13.5 mm is a high-speed steel cutting tool designed for drilling precise holes in ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The solid cylindrical shank fits standard chucks on hand drills and drill presses, providing stable rotation and accurate hole placement. The HSS material offers elevated hardness and heat resistance for continuous metalworking tasks.

Advantages

This 13.5 mm HSS drill bit delivers consistent cutting performance and wear resistance during repeated use. Its cylindrical shank design ensures secure seating in a wide range of chucks and reduces runout for more accurate holes. The heat-tolerant high-speed steel composition helps preserve edge sharpness at higher cutting temperatures typical of metal drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel and iron
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Use in hand-held drills and bench drill presses with compatible chucks
• Workshop and industrial metal fabrication tasks

Key specifications

• Tip diameter: 13.5 mm
• Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight) shank suitable for standard chucks
• Intended application: metal drilling (ferrous and non-ferrous)

How to use

Select a compatible chuck or collet and secure the cylindrical shank firmly. Mark the drilling point and, if needed, use a center punch to prevent walking. Start at low to moderate speed and apply steady pressure; increase speed moderately depending on material and drill rigidity. Use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling tougher steels to reduce heat and improve tool life. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear chips and avoid clogging.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate cutting fluid, clamp the workpiece securely, and match drilling speed to material hardness. Regularly inspect the cutting edge for wear and re-sharpen or replace the bit when performance declines.
