Drill bit FISCHER 536603, 10 mm, single-piece, for metal and hard plastics

FISCHER 536603 is a single-piece 10 mm drill bit designed for precise drilling in a range of metals and hard plastics. Manufactured for general metalworking and plastic fabrication, this 10 mm bit suits workshop repairs, installation tasks and maintenance operations where a robust cutting tool is required. The single-piece design provides stability during drilling and improved straightness in through-holes and blind holes.

Advantages

This 10 mm single-piece drill bit offers reliable cutting performance in aluminium, brass, bronze, cast iron, non-alloyed steel and steel as well as hard plastics. Its one-piece construction reduces runout and increases concentricity, supporting cleaner holes and longer tool life under normal workshop conditions. The geometry is optimised for metal cutting, improving chip evacuation and reducing clogging when working with tougher materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in aluminium and non-ferrous metals for fabrication and assembly
• Creating mounting holes in steel components and cast iron parts
• Repair and maintenance tasks in workshops and service environments
• Drilling through hard plastics for component fitting and enclosures

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Construction: single-piece solid drill bit
• Suitable materials: aluminium, brass, bronze, cast iron, non-alloyed steel, steel, hard plastics
• Intended use: general metalworking, plastic fabrication, workshop repairs, installation work

How to use

Select the appropriate drilling speed and feed for the workpiece material, secure the workpiece, and use a suitable drill press or hand drill with a compatible chuck. Apply steady pressure and allow the bit to cut without excessive force; use cutting fluid or coolant when drilling ferrous metals to prolong bit life and improve surface finish. Clear chips periodically to prevent clogging and re-check alignment for precision holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results, start with a centre punch or pilot hole where accurate positioning is required. When drilling metals such as steel or cast iron, use cutting oil and moderate speed; for aluminium and plastics, higher speeds with light feed and good chip evacuation produce cleaner holes. Inspect the bit for wear and replace when cutting performance decreases or if chipping appears on the cutting edges.
