Drill bit for metal faster tools 16 mm HSS model 8923697

16 mm HSS drill bit by faster tools, model 8923697, designed for drilling metal. Made from high-speed steel for enhanced durability and heat resistance, this drill bit is suitable for creating and enlarging holes in alloy and non-alloy steel, cast steel, cast iron and other metals. Point angle 118° and H12 hole tolerance ensure accurate and reliable performance. Working length 120 mm, overall length 178 mm.

Advantages

The HSS material provides good wear and heat resistance during metal cutting. A 118° point angle offers efficient centring and chip evacuation for general metalworking. Specified H12 hole tolerance ensures predictable hole sizes for workshop and maintenance tasks. Dimensions (16 mm diameter, 120 mm working length, 178 mm overall) suit both handheld and bench drilling setups.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloy and non-alloy steels
• Drilling cast steel and cast iron
• General metalwork in workshops and maintenance
• Use with handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of a handheld drill or drill press, ensuring proper alignment. Select appropriate speed and cutting fluid for the material being drilled to reduce heat and improve tool life. Apply steady feed pressure; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes. After use, clean chips and store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use cutting fluid for steel and cast iron, start drilling at lower speed for larger diameters, and avoid excessive feed to prevent overheating. Inspect the bit for wear before use and replace when dull to maintain hole quality.
