## Summary description

High-performance Format twist drill bit made from HSS-Co cobalt high-speed steel with a cylindrical shank and a 12 mm diameter. Designed for drilling hard and demanding metals, offering exceptional heat resistance, durability, and precise hole creation for professional and industrial workshop applications.

## Long description

The Format Twist Drill Bit HSS-Co Cylindrical 12 mm is a high-performance cutting tool engineered for demanding professional and industrial metalworking applications. Manufactured from cobalt-alloyed high-speed steel (HSS-Co), this drill bit offers superior red hardness and wear resistance, making it an ideal choice for continuous drilling operations in tough materials. Featuring a standard cylindrical shank and a precise 12 mm diameter, it integrates seamlessly into standard drill chucks and machine tool holders to deliver clean, accurate holes with minimal deflection.
Advantages
Constructed from premium HSS-Co cobalt high-speed steel, this twist drill provides exceptional thermal resistance and structural integrity during high-speed drilling tasks. The cobalt content prevents premature tool wear and maintains cutting edge sharpness even when subjected to elevated temperatures generated by friction in hard metals. Its robust design ensures excellent torque transmission and stability, reducing the risk of breakage and extending the overall service life of the tool in intensive workshop environments.
Suitable for
Drilling stainless steel and acid-resistant steels
Machining alloyed and unalloyed cast steel
Working with grey cast iron and malleable cast iron
Industrial workshop production and maintenance tasks
This drill bit may not be suitable for drilling non-metallic materials such as wood, plastics, or soft composites, where high helix angles and cobalt composition do not provide optimal chip evacuation. It is also not recommended for handheld cordless drills of low power when attempting to drill large 12 mm diameters in heavy-duty metals, as insufficient torque and feed pressure can lead to work hardening or tool breakage.
Key specifications
Material: HSS-Co cobalt high-speed steel
Shank type: Cylindrical
Diameter: 12 mm
Application: Hard and demanding metals
To use the Format Twist Drill Bit HSS-Co Cylindrical 12 mm effectively, secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp to prevent shifting during operation. Insert the cylindrical shank securely into the drill chuck and tighten evenly. Align the drill perpendicular to the surface of the material, apply steady and controlled axial pressure, and use an appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant to dissipate heat and enhance surface finish, especially when working with stainless steel. Adjust the rotational speed according to the material specifications to maintain optimal cutting performance.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that your drill chuck is compatible with a 12 mm cylindrical shank size
Ensure your drilling equipment provides sufficient power and torque for a 12 mm diameter in hard metals
Confirm the material you intend to drill matches the high-performance capabilities of HSS-Co steel
Usage recommendations: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, during drilling operations. Use suitable cooling lubricants to extend the lifespan of the drill bit and ensure clean chip removal.
