Högert Technik Metal Drill Bit 3.5 mm, Split Point, 10 Pieces

The Högert Technik metal drill bit set consists of 10 high-quality 3.5 mm drill bits designed for precision and durability in metalworking tasks. Engineered with a specialized split point tip, these bits allow for accurate centering without the need for center punching, significantly reducing the risk of the bit slipping on smooth surfaces. The robust construction ensures consistent performance and longevity, making them a reliable choice for both professional workshops and home improvement projects.

Advantages

These drill bits offer exceptional drilling efficiency due to their high-grade material composition and geometry. The split point design facilitates faster penetration into the material while maintaining stability during the initial contact. By minimizing walking on the workpiece, these bits provide cleaner, more accurate holes, which helps in preserving the integrity of the material and extending the life of the tool itself.

Suitable for

• Drilling into alloy and carbon steel
• Working with cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• Precision metal fabrication and repair
• General DIY metalworking projects

When it may not be suitable

These drill bits are specifically optimized for metal applications and may not perform efficiently when used on masonry, concrete, or extremely hard ceramic tiles. Using them on materials outside their intended scope may lead to premature dulling or breakage of the cutting edge.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Tip geometry: Split point
• Material: High-speed steel
• Quantity: 10 pieces per set

How to use

To achieve the best results, secure your workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp to prevent movement during the drilling process. Align the drill bit with the marked center point and apply steady, moderate pressure while maintaining a consistent rotational speed appropriate for the material being drilled. It is recommended to use a cutting oil or coolant to reduce friction and heat buildup, which helps maintain the sharpness of the bit and ensures a smooth finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the chuck capacity of your drill to ensure it accommodates 3.5 mm bits.
• Assess the hardness of the material to determine if additional cooling agents are required.
• Ensure the drill speed settings are adjusted according to the metal type for optimal results.

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection when drilling metal to prevent injury from flying chips or debris. Regularly inspect the bits for signs of wear and replace them if the cutting edge becomes dull to maintain drilling accuracy.
