Drill bit KREATOR KRT010118 HSS 8 x 117 mm

HSS drill bit KREATOR KRT010118 is a high-speed steel cutting tool with an 8 mm diameter and a total length of 117 mm, designed for metalworking and general drilling tasks. It is suitable for use with handheld drills and drill presses in workshops, construction sites and maintenance environments. The HSS material provides wear resistance and heat tolerance during continuous drilling operations.

Advantages

The drill bit's HSS composition ensures a balanced combination of hardness and toughness for cutting through mild and common construction steels, non-ferrous metals and some harder plastics. Its standard 8 mm diameter and 117 mm overall length allow for deeper holes than short jobber bits while remaining compatible with most chucks. The ground flute geometry helps evacuate chips effectively and reduces heat build-up during drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, sheet metal and non-ferrous metals
• Workshop general-purpose drilling with handheld drills and drill presses
• Maintenance, repair and construction tasks requiring 8 mm diameter holes
• Drilling through plastics and composite materials where HSS is appropriate

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 117 mm
• Shank type: Cylindrical (fits standard chucks)
• Application: Metalworking, general-purpose drilling

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Select an appropriate speed for HSS bits — lower speeds for harder materials, higher speeds for softer metals and plastics. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling steel to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, moderate pressure and allow the bit to cut; withdraw periodically to clear chips if drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

Wear eye protection and follow safe drilling practices. For best results on steel, use cutting oil and moderate speed. Replace the bit if signs of excessive wear or chipping appear to maintain hole quality and safety.
