Högert Technik Metal Drill Bit 11.0 mm, Split Point, 5 Pieces

The Högert Technik metal drill bit set, featuring an 11.0 mm diameter, is engineered for high-performance drilling in demanding metalworking environments. These bits are crafted from durable high-speed steel and feature a specialized split point geometry that allows for immediate contact with the material surface without the need for center punching. This design significantly reduces the required feed pressure and prevents the bit from wandering, ensuring precise hole placement and consistent results in both professional workshops and home improvement projects.

Advantages

The primary benefit of these drill bits is the advanced split point design, which enhances centering accuracy and minimizes surface slippage. The robust construction ensures long-lasting sharpness and resistance to heat buildup during continuous operation. By reducing the effort required to start a hole, these bits improve overall drilling efficiency and help maintain the integrity of the workpiece, resulting in cleaner, burr-free holes in various metal types.

Suitable for

• Drilling in structural steel and carbon steel
• Working with cast iron components
• Processing non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper
• Professional metal fabrication and DIY repair tasks

When it may not be suitable

These drill bits are specifically optimized for metalworking and may not provide optimal performance when used on masonry, concrete, or extremely hard ceramic materials. They are also not intended for use with wood-specific drilling applications where specialized spur-point bits are required to prevent splintering.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 11.0 mm
• Point geometry: Split point
• Material compatibility: Steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals
• Quantity: 5 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 perpendicular to the surface and apply steady, moderate pressure. Start the drill at a lower speed to ensure the split point engages correctly, then increase to the recommended speed for the specific metal being drilled. Use appropriate cutting oil to lubricate the bit and dissipate heat, which will extend the lifespan of the tool and improve the quality of the finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your drill chuck is compatible with an 11.0 mm shank diameter
• Verify the material hardness of your workpiece matches the tool capabilities
• Consider the required drilling depth for your specific application

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate eye protection and safety gear when operating power tools. Regularly inspect the drill bits for signs of wear or dullness and replace them as needed to maintain drilling precision and safety.
