HSS drill bit KREATOR KRT010112 5 x 86 mm

HSS drill bit KREATOR KRT010112 5 x 86 mm is a high-speed steel twist drill designed for drilling metal and common workshop materials. The 5 mm diameter and 86 mm overall length suit a wide range of tasks from maintenance and fabrication to DIY projects. Its single-piece construction provides consistent alignment and straight drilling when used with handheld drills or drill presses.

Advantages

This HSS drill bit offers good hardness and heat resistance typical of high-speed steel, which helps maintain cutting edges during continuous drilling in metal. The single-piece design reduces wobble and increases durability, while the standard 5 mm diameter makes it a versatile option for creating precise holes for fasteners or pilot holes. It is compatible with common three-jaw chucks and can be used in both portable and bench-mounted drilling equipment.

Suitable for

• Drilling through mild and medium-carbon steel
• Creating pilot holes for bolts and screws in metalwork
• General-purpose workshop and maintenance drilling
• DIY projects requiring precise 5 mm holes

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Drill type: Twist drill, single-piece construction
• Diameter: 5 mm
• Overall length: 86 mm
• Suitable for: Handheld drills and drill presses

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the chuck of your handheld drill or drill press, ensuring it is centered and tightened. Select appropriate spindle speed for the material — lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for softer metals and general-purpose materials. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metals to reduce heat and prolong bit life. Apply steady, even pressure and allow the bit to cut without forcing; withdraw periodically to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

For best results when drilling metal, use a suitable cutting fluid, choose the correct speed for the material, and clamp the workpiece securely. Replace the bit when cutting edges show wear to maintain hole precision and reduce the risk of breakage.
