Drill bit faster tools HSS-Red 18 mm for metal, MPN 8923710

High-durability HSS drill bit for metal with a 118° point angle designed for drilling alloyed and non-alloyed steels, wrought steel, cast iron and other common metals. This Drill bit faster tools HSS-Red 18 mm for metal (MPN 8923710) offers a 18 mm diameter with a 130 mm working length and a total length of 191 mm, suitable for general metalworking tasks.

Advantages

The HSS construction provides enhanced wear resistance and heat tolerance compared with standard carbon-steel bits. A 118° point angle ensures reliable centering and reduced walking when starting holes. The bit is manufactured to tolerance H12 for hole acceptance, providing consistent fit for through-holes and general metal fabrication.

Suitable for

• Drilling alloyed and non-alloyed steels
• Drilling wrought steel and cast iron
• General metal fabrication and maintenance
• Through-holes where H12 tolerance is acceptable

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a compatible chuck, ensure the workpiece is clamped, and select an appropriate cutting speed and feed for the material being drilled. Use cutting fluid for steel and cast iron to reduce heat and extend tool life. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then increase to the recommended speed for the material while maintaining steady feed pressure.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use appropriate personal protective equipment, clamp the workpiece firmly, and apply cutting lubricant when drilling alloyed steels or cast iron. Inspect the bit for wear and replace when chipping or excessive rounding of the cutting edges is observed.
