## Summary description

Solid drill bit FORTE 14.0 x 160 mm designed for drilling metal. Features a 14.0 mm cutting diameter and 160 mm overall length with a straight/cylindrical shank for secure clamping. Made from high-speed steel for wear resistance and suitable for use with hand drills and drill presses on steel, iron and other ferrous materials in workshop and construction tasks.

## Long description

Solid drill bit FORTE 14.0 x 160 mm for metal is a single-flute cutting tool engineered for drilling holes in ferrous materials. The bit has a 14.0 mm cutting diameter and a 160 mm overall length with a straight (cylindrical) shank that fits standard drill chucks. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this drill bit combines hardness and heat resistance for routine workshop and construction tasks on steel, iron and similar metals when used with hand drills or drill presses.
Advantages
The high-speed steel construction provides abrasion and heat resistance that helps maintain cutting edge geometry during repeated use. The straight shank ensures stable clamping in standard chucks, enabling safe and accurate centering. Its 160 mm overall length gives sufficient reach for through-holes and medium-depth drilling while the 14.0 mm diameter matches common fastening and assembly requirements for metalwork.
Suitable for
 Drilling holes in steel and iron plates
 Workshop and maintenance tasks with hand drills
 Drill-press operations for precise hole positioning
 Construction site metalwork and installations
Key specifications
 Cutting diameter: 14.0 mm
 Overall length: 160 mm
 Shank type: straight / cylindrical
 Material: high-speed steel (HSS)
 Recommended materials: steel, iron and other ferrous metals
How to use
Select a compatible drill or drill press and secure the straight shank firmly in the chuck. Mark the drilling position and, where appropriate, use a center punch to prevent walking. Begin at low speed to establish the hole, apply steady feed pressure, and increase speed as appropriate for the material and bit size. Use cutting lubricant for steel to reduce heat and extend tool life; clear chips periodically to avoid clogging. After drilling, retract the bit while the machine is stationary and inspect the hole for dimensional accuracy.
Usage recommendations
Use cutting oil or suitable lubricant when drilling steel to reduce friction and prolong bit life. Match drill speed and feed to the material: lower speeds and steady feed for harder steels, higher speeds for softer ferrous metals. Secure the workpiece and use appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses and gloves, when operating power tools.
