Twist drill bit Irwin 10502417, diameter 2 cm, 1 pc

Irwin twist drill bit 10502417 with a 2 cm diameter is a single-piece, precision-ground cutting tool designed for creating round holes with a standard drill. Manufactured to DIN 338 standards, this drill bit features a reduced shank and ground flute for accurate guidance and efficient chip evacuation. The universal 118° point shape and finely ground cutting edges enable faster drilling and a clean hole finish in a variety of common materials.

Advantages

The drill bit is precision ground to provide consistent cutting geometry and fast penetration while maintaining a smooth finish around the hole. Compliance with DIN 338 ensures dimensional accuracy and predictable performance. The reduced shank allows use in chucks with limited capacity, and the ground flute design improves chip removal and reduces heat buildup during drilling. The 118° point gives versatility across wood, plastics and many metals.

Suitable for

• Drilling 2 cm diameter holes in wood and plywood
• Creating holes in plastics and composite materials
• General-purpose metal drilling where a 2 cm hole is required
• Workshop and maintenance tasks requiring a single, durable drill bit

Key specifications

• Supply: single piece

How to use

Secure the twist drill bit in the drill chuck, ensuring the reduced shank is seated firmly and the bit is straight. Select an appropriate speed and feed for the material being drilled: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for wood and plastics. Use steady pressure and let the cutting edges perform the work; avoid excessive force which can cause overheating or premature wear. Clear chips regularly if drilling deep holes to maintain cooling and prevent clogging of the flute.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use cutting fluid or suitable lubricant when drilling metals to extend tool life and improve finish. When drilling wood or plastics, secure workpieces and consider backing material to prevent splintering on exit. Inspect the cutting edges before use and replace the bit when wear or chipping reduces performance.
