Drill bit KREATOR KRT010120 HSS 9 x 125 mm

Drill bit KREATOR KRT010120 HSS 9 x 125 mm is a high-speed steel (HSS) straight-shank drill designed for clean, accurate holes in metal and common workshop materials. With a 9 mm diameter and a 125 mm overall length, this bit fits standard drill chucks and is suitable for use in handheld drills and drill presses. The HSS material offers heat resistance and wear performance needed for repetitive drilling tasks in fabrication, maintenance and general DIY work.

Advantages

The HSS construction provides reliable hardness and thermal stability for drilling at moderate speeds without premature softening. The 9 mm flute geometry balances chip evacuation and cutting stability to reduce clogging when working with mild steel, aluminum and similar materials. The straight shank ensures secure clamping in standard chucks and compatibility with a wide range of drilling tools. Overall length of 125 mm gives extra reach for through-holes and deeper setups while maintaining rigidity for accurate hole placement.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in mild steel, cast iron and non-ferrous metals
• General workshop and fabrication tasks
• Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations
• Handheld drill and bench drill applications
• Home improvement and DIY metalworking projects

Key specifications

• Material: High-speed steel (HSS)
• Diameter: 9 mm
• Overall length: 125 mm
• Shank type: Straight shank (suitable for standard chucks)
• Intended materials: Metals and general workshop materials

How to use

Secure the drill bit in a properly tightened drill chuck. Select an appropriate spindle speed for HSS and the material being drilled — lower speeds for harder steels and higher speeds for softer metals such as aluminum. Use a steady feed rate, moderate pressure and, when drilling metal, apply cutting fluid or coolant to reduce heat and improve chip evacuation. For handheld drilling maintain perpendicular alignment to the workpiece; for higher precision use a drill press or clamping jig. After completing each hole, retract the bit to clear chips and inspect the cutting edges for wear.

Usage recommendations

For longer tool life and consistent hole quality, use appropriate cutting fluid, avoid excessive spindle speeds that can overheat HSS, and replace the bit when you notice diminished cutting performance or significant edge wear.
