FANAR cylindrical drill bit 10.5 mm W2-103811-1050 – solid shank, metal drilling

FANAR cylindrical drill bit 10.5 mm is a straight-shank cutting tool designed for drilling holes in metal and similar materials. The solid shank and 10.5 mm diameter provide stable performance in both drill presses and hand drills that accept cylindrical shanks. This drill bit is intended for general metalworking tasks such as holemaking, maintenance operations, and workshop fabrication where precise, repeatable metal drilling is required.

Advantages

The cylindrical design ensures reliable clamping and reduced runout when used in compatible chucks and fixtures. A solid-shank profile contributes to stability and durability under typical cutting loads. The 10.5 mm diameter is a standard size suitable for a variety of mechanical and fabrication tasks, providing a balance between hole size and drilling speed. The bit is suitable for use in common metalworking setups and provides consistent hole quality when used with appropriate cutting speeds and lubrication.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in steel, iron, and non-hardened metals
• Workshop fabrication and assembly tasks
• Maintenance, repair, and operational (MRO) work
• Use in drill presses and hand drills with cylindrical chucks

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10.5 mm
• Shank type: cylindrical (straight shank)
• Shank profile: solid shank for secure clamping
• Intended material: metals and similar hard materials
• Typical applications: general metalworking, maintenance, fabrication

How to use

Install the drill bit into a compatible chuck, ensuring the cylindrical shank is seated and the chuck is tightened securely to minimize runout. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate based on the workpiece material and hole diameter; lower speeds and steady feed are recommended for harder metals. Use cutting fluid or lubricant to reduce heat, improve chip evacuation, and extend tool life. Withdraw the bit periodically on deep holes to clear chips and prevent clogging. After use, clean the bit and store it dry to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use a properly rated cutting fluid, steady downward pressure, and an appropriate speed for the material. Match drill speed to the metal type (slower for harder steels) and ensure the drill press or hand drill provides sufficient rigidity to avoid deflection.
