FANAR HSS cylindrical drill bit 15 mm W2-103811-1500

FANAR HSS cylindrical drill bit 15 mm W2-103811-1500 is a general-purpose high-speed steel twist drill designed for reliable hole-making in a variety of common materials. With a 15 mm diameter and a cylindrical shank, this HSS drill bit is intended for use in standard drill chucks and bench drills. It provides wear resistance and consistent cutting performance for workshop, maintenance and light industrial tasks where accurate and repeatable drilling is required.

Advantages

The HSS material offers good hardness and heat resistance for drilling through metals, plastics and wood under normal cutting conditions. The cylindrical shank ensures secure clamping in chucks and straightforward compatibility with a wide range of drilling machines. The 15 mm diameter gives a balance between hole size and rigidity, reducing chatter and improving dimensional stability compared with smaller-diameter bits.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild steel, aluminium and other non-hardened metals
• General workshop and maintenance drilling tasks
• Bench drills and hand-held drill drivers with compatible chucks
• Prototype, repair and light industrial hole-making operations

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 15 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical shank suitable for standard chucks
• Flute type: Twist flutes for chip evacuation
• Intended use: General-purpose metalworking and multi-material drilling

How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in the chuck, ensuring correct alignment and minimal runout. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate for the material being drilled; lower speeds and steady feed are recommended for harder metals, while higher speeds suit softer materials like aluminium and plastics. Use cutting fluid when drilling steels to reduce heat and extend tool life. Maintain steady pressure and withdraw periodically to clear chips if drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and lubrication to the workpiece material: use cutting oil for steels, and moderate speeds for non-ferrous metals. Inspect the bit for wear or dulling before use and replace when performance deteriorates to avoid poor hole quality and excessive heat generation.
